The Evolution of the Corporate Innovation Function
(And What That Means For Your Career)
In this session, we’ll discuss the evolution of the corporate innovation function so far, and what will be next. Will innovation be a separate function, or integrated in other functions and business operations? If separate, what will be the scope and how will success be measured? What does this all mean for you as innovation professional? In some companies, innovation is still a risky step that could easily derail your career; will that change in the next years? Beyond an innovation role, how can you still leverage your innovation skill- and mindset in other functions?
