Members-Only Web 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.
May 3rd at 12 PM ET: Overview of MIT’s New Gen AI Platform for Exploring New Venture Concepts
How can generative AI support the process of exploring and testing new venture concepts? We’ll get a demo of the new Orbit software platform, created at MIT’s Trust Center for Entrepreneurship. InnoLead members get free access to the tool for testing and feedback. Joining us to answer questions is Orbit Product Lead Douglas Williams.
Be part of our May members’ meeting. This members-only meeting is open to all InnoLead members and partners. If you’re logged in as a member, you will see a registration form below.
June 6th at 12 PM ET: What Does It Take to Make Strategic Innovation Stick?
Innovation is always a domain with changing priorities — and often, new executives overseeing it. So how do you ensure that you’re building a capability that will endure? Join Gina O’Connor, Professor of Innovation Management at Babson College and co-author of the book Beyond the Champion, and Nazeer Bhore, ExxonMobil’s Global Manager for Tech Scouting, Innovation, and Ventures, for a download of the best practices you need to know to develop new ventures that make a difference, build the organizational expertise to do so repeatedly, and maintain leadership support. InnoLead members will also be invited to contribute their advice and perspectives.
O’Connor and Bhore will also discuss the “two presidents test” — can your innovation initiative survive past the tenure of one senior leader to the next?
* To participate in our members-only meetings, you’ll need an active membership to InnoLead. Contact Scott Cohen with questions.
