5 Ways to Innovate
The problem with innovation and how corporations are dealing with it.
Throw a rock and you’re likely to hit an innovation lab. Chances are your company has a team of people walking around in jeans and sneakers, a room filled with VR headsets and IoT tech, or a mysterious incubator for disruptive ideas somewhere in the business.
Every organization is investing in innovation, but the ugly truth is that very few know where they should be placing their bets. From our experience with hundreds of companies across many geographies, we have observed five typical ways that corporates approach innovation – the problem is choosing which one is right for you.
The 5 Ways to Innovate is a simple framework that helps organizations learn from the world’s best innovators in order to build for the business of tomorrow.

Adopting AI: A Practical Guide to Putting AI to Work
An immersive deep dive into the world of AI and back again.
With all of the hype surrounding Generative AI, we’ve seen countless organizations dropping their strategic objectives to jump on the AI bandwagon.
But remember just last year it was Metaverse. And before that it was NFT, Crypto and Cloud.
There is always a shiny new thing to chase, but few leaders figure out how to get on top of the trend before it’s too late
• and then spend the next decade playing catch up.
Adopting AI is an immersive session designed to take leaders on a journey into the depths of what it looks like to operate at the cutting edge of AI technology, and then bring them back again to the practicalities of putting AI to use. The result is a learning experience that equips leaders with the mindset and practical tools they need to get the most out of AI and get on top of the trend today.
