Innovation at Large Companies
Details
Last month we had startups and this month we're going to the other end of the spectrum with our topic - Innovating in Large Enterprises.
According to this HBR article -https://hbr.org/2012/09/why-big-companies-cant-innovate - large companies are bad at being innovative because they are designed to be bad at innovation. They measure success by profit, not product/market fit. Efficient operation that leverages existing assets, distribution channels & focuses on their best customers will help profit, repeatable & scalable will help profit - not the risk of innovation.
Our panel will talk about their experiences in innovating at large enterprises & answer your questions. We'll be discussing:
- How do you make room for failure? Getting resources for the project vs covering your ass. How can we overcome the fear of failure
- Making time for innovation. You need to have time to think strategically but there might be a big problem if you're not delivering. How do you balance the two?
- How should your KPIs change if you're trying to be more innovative?
- What steps can you take tomorrow to change things?
Our Facilitator:
Daniel Kinal - Product Manager in the B2B IT space for 12 years.
