On June 25th at 12pm ET, join David Matheson and Doug Williams of SmartOrg, Inc. for an engaging conversation on the “messy middle” of the innovation process. You’ve got a vision for an innovation opportunity, but uncertainty abounds, and failure is common. To be a good steward of innovation resources, you need a method that allows you to shift from “fail fast” to “fail fastest.”
In this session, we’ll share a case study example and answer questions like:
- What drives issue prioritization in the absence of objective data, and why is that a problem?
- How can I create alignment with technical, commercial, and financial stakeholders who all want to prioritize different things?
- How does a learning plan help you avoid the trap of an execution plan?
