Success Stories 2021 | Innovation Leader | 28 January 2021 | Virtual Event

Success Stories is a chance to learn from your peers across industries about what works — and how they overcame obstacles on the way to launching new products, introducing new technology platforms, building ecosystems, and changing internal culture and processes.

The sole focus of this event is presenting case studies from large organizations about things that are deployed or in-market and delivering value. We’ll explore:

• How projects get resourced
• How you build internal coalitions needed to support new ideas
• Generating engagement from key stakeholders when many people are working remotely
• Creating prototypes and getting the right feedback from prospective customers
• Collaborating with functional and business unit colleagues to get things launched.
