Members-Only Meetings

We regularly convene IL members for discussions on topics of interest — which members suggest. These meetings take place on Zoom, and they are designed to be candid conversations among peers, as opposed to passive webcasts. If you’re a current IL member and are logged in, you will see a short registration form (or calendar links) beneath the description of each meeting. We always like to hear suggestions for future meeting topics from our members.

For a complete calendar of all of our in-person and online gatherings, please visit our events page.

September 12th at 1 PM ET: Rapid Prototyping with GenAI, from Idea to Pilot 

Two colleagues at Harvard Business Review and Harvard Business School will discuss how they’ve been building new product offerings and experiences with generative AI — their approach and the issues they had to overcome. As always with InnoLead member meetings, we make time for you to share your experiences and ask questions.

Laura Northridge is the Senior Director of the AI Innovation Lab at Harvard Business Publishing, where she drives the AI product strategy and creates new products and services for the Harvard Business Review consumer market, B2B learning experiences for the global Fortune 1000 companies, and provides Business School learning resources for higher education audiences.

Andrew Jeske is a Digital Product Manager at Harvard Business School, managing the development of AI-powered tools that support and enrich MBA learning experiences. His recent work includes building generative AI support for two flagship courses: Public Entrepreneurship and Data Science & AI for Leaders—the latter being HBS’s first AI-first course, teaching students how to conduct statistical analysis in a no-code environment and apply data science fundamentals to leadership challenges.
