AI IS EATING THE WORLD: TIME TO INNOVATE FOR A AI-FIRST WORLD



Generative AI is now the fastest growing technology in the world. In this
riveting keynote, world-renowned futurist and eight-time best-selling author
Brian Solis shares why now is the time to reimagine your business for an
entirely new future. Solis argues why automation is the norm, not a goal.

In this session he demonstrates how augmentation becomes the key to
differentiation for enterprises that are at the inflection point of thriving or
perishing in the age of AI. With the mind shift that this session will initiate,
leaders will be able to unlock a new future toward becoming an exponential
business.

BUILDING A CAPABILITY FOR STRATEGIC INNOVATION: IS IT WORTH THE EFFORT?



For far too long, organizational leaders have desired to succeed at breakthrough
innovation, but pursue it in fits and starts. The payoff isn't clear soon
enough. Leaders demand to know the Return on Investment of any strategic
initiative, and building a Strategic Innovation capability is no exception.

Yet evidence has been accumulating that demonstrates, without a doubt, the
benefit of developing and institutionalizing a Strategic Innovation capability.

In this talk, Professor O'Connor will present academic, case study and
benchmarking based research in a digestible manner that Innov8rs members can use
to make the case.

enterprise

CXO WHISPERER - HOW TO BEND THE C-SUITE TO YOUR WILL



Many companies struggle to capture the gains of their innovation strategies and
R&D investments because they don't go 'far enough' in the pursuit of non-core
business opportunities.

In this session, Paul discusses the role of leadership in reframing company
assets and business processes to match the requirements of the new business
model through a process called Deconstruction-Reconstruction.

Corporate executives and innovation leaders use the
Deconstruction-Reconstruction process to disassemble a company's current
business model and reassemble it to pursue a new business. Innovation leaders
learn which functions and processes create unnecessary barriers to business
creation, with specific examples from Paul's journey that include examples in
Finance, HR, Supply Chain, Go-to-market, and much more.

Specific tools, like CFO Whisperer, list exactly the jobs to be done by Finance
that accelerate growth.

BEYOND THE HYPE: A CPG COMPANY EXPERIMENTS WITH AI TO DRIVE GROWTH

fireside chat, Rachel Gordon, a growth & innovation advisor at Triple Agent will
interview Nate Mahan, an experienced tech and innovation leader who has kicked
off this journey in his organization.

Nate will share how he approached introducing AI into the innovation agenda and
how he has engaged stakeholders in this effort, identified and prioritized
potential use cases in the business, and launched proof of concepts.

We will also talk about the unique challenges of this work in CPG and how to set
up systems and structures within the enterprise to enable AI experimentation to
flourish.

DRIVING LEADERSHIP ALIGNMENT ON INNOVATION



In this session, Alasdair will share perspectives on how to align leadership
teams on the need for innovation, shifting innovation from a “nice to have” to
an essential component of the long-term growth strategy for an organization.

Among other topics, the discussion will cover
- Tools and techniques to help shape a consensus perspective on the future
environment
- How to reframe innovation in the language of the CEO and CFO
- An interactive exercise to ensure you walk away from the session ready (and
comfortable) to use these tools

HOW TO BET ON OPEN INNOVATION



You know open innovation is critical, but resources are limited and there are so
many options! Should you be running an accelerator? Setting up a Corporate
Venture Capital Arm? Running proof of concept projects? Partnering with peers or
universities? What's a venture studio anyway?

In this highly interactive workshop, you and fellow innovators will test your
firm's requirements against the opportunities offered by each type of
partnership engine. You'll walk away knowing which engine (or engines!) your
firm should pursue, and new instincts for what kinds of partnership make sense.

AI-POWERED VENTURE BUILDING



In this session, Sean will unpack powerful lessons and insights that the team at
U+ has learned in the past 14+ years of building and launching 100+ new ventures
inside large organizations, while delivering $2B in value for Fortune 2000s.

In today's dynamic market, innovation remains the key to growth and market
resilience. However, a staggering 95% of innovations fail. Find out how
leading-edge companies leverage AI to unlock a 5x larger venture idea funnel and
make 2x more astute choices.

Discover the crucial need to gather a group of initial customers who not only
support your product but also become its biggest fans, speeding up the process
of finding the right market. Instead of trying to sell, concentrate on finding
early users who believe in your idea, giving you important feedback to make sure
it's on the right track.

INNOVATION ACCOUNTING: WHEN THE CEO QUESTIONS YOUR ROI



We're launching new products. We've got a governance process. We're trying to
disrupt ourselves. But how do we show ROI on innovation? Business plans are
guesses, but the CEO isn't going to accept "I don't know" for an answer and the
CFO is having a fit. We need to explain how our ideas can produce real returns.

This session is an interactive, live demo going from an idea to a financial or
impact model. We'll calculate our odds of success and the probable outcome of
the project. Then we'll compare two projects to make a pivot-or-persevere
decision. Only then we can justify funding our project (and our innovation
department).

SECURING YOUR INNOVATION BUDGET: STRATEGIES FOR THRIVING IN TIGHT ECONOMIC TIMES



In the face of tightening budgets for innovation—highlighted by the recent
public news of layoffs at IDEO, cutbacks at Google X, and the closure of
Walmart's Store No. 8—there's a palpable shift in how companies approach their
innovation strategies.

Amidst an environment of high interest rates and looming recession, the question
arises: What are companies prioritizing when it comes to their growth budgets?

It's evident that many large organizations are channeling their investments
towards reinforcing their core businesses and enhancing their brand equity, or
seizing quick, value-driven opportunities that promise near-term revenue
returns.

A pragmatic approach is becoming the norm. While fostering a culture of
innovation remains crucial, businesses are exploring cost-effective means to
disseminate this ethos. A notable example is Amazon's Isengard, an experimental
platform that empowers employees to develop innovative products with the
potential to evolve into standalone enterprises—a genesis story akin to that of
AWS.

So, how can innovation functions meaningfully contribute to growth agendas
without succumbing to superficial measures?

- Intrinsic Motivation Platforms: Create environments where employees can
experiment and innovate based on internal motivations.
- Recognition and Rewards: Implement incentive programs that acknowledge
innovative contributions.
- Prioritizing Impact Over Vanity Metrics: Focus on metrics that measure genuine
progress, such as adoption rates and revenue impact.
- Business Expertise Leverage: Adopt a flexible 'rotating door' policy to
integrate diverse business insights, akin to Walmart's Store 8 concept, but with
a hybrid approach.

Growth and Innovation platforms will become normalized with the introduction of
AI to accelerate test & learn capabilities. Join this workshop to learn how you
can build yours.

WHAT IS A VENTURE STUDIO ANYWAY?



Everyone seems to be talking about venture studios. What is a venture studio?
Should your company have one?

Come learn from High Alpha Innovation, the leading corporate venture builder,
about what a venture studio is, what it is good for, and when venture building
makes sense as an alternative or complement to CVC, M&A, partnerships, or
traditional accelerator programs.

This session will address hot topics like:
- How to decide whether to build a venture internally or externally
- How to use venture building to unlock more innovation funding
- When to work with an external venture builder versus building alone
- How to recruit world-class founders to run new ventures
- How to get the governance, incentives, and deal structures right to
dramatically dial up the success rate of new ventures
- Common failure modes to avoid

WORLD EXCLUSIVE: FUTUREFIT 2024 - THE RESULTS



In 2023, we began our corporate innovation benchmarking report – FutureFit.

The aim was simple: to conduct the largest-ever study dedicated to understanding
what sets the best innovation teams apart from the rest based on insights from
diverse geographies, industries and companies and to share the analysis with
ambitious changemakers like you.

In this session, we'll give you an in-depth view of how successful innovation
teams are run by revealing the latest performance benchmarks, including budget
allocation, rewards & compensation, performance metrics and portfolio
performance and look at commonalities in the challenges they face, their
innovation strategies, top priorities and ways of working.

Join us to be the first in the world to hear and discuss the results, plus get
exclusive access to a brilliant lineup of innovation icons taking part in our
panel.

By attending, you will find out:

- What percentage of revenues do top-performing companies allocate to their
innovation activities?
- How are the world's leading teams recognised and rewarded for their work in
building new products and services?
- What significant obstacles have your peers overcome this year, and what do
they foresee over the next 12 months?
- What are the key reasons that some companies outperform others when it comes
to corporate innovation?
- What KPIs do leading companies use to measure, manage and improve their
corporate innovation performance?
- Where are companies focusing their innovation efforts over the next twelve
months, and what bets are they making?
- Why do some companies generate higher returns from their innovation
investments than others?
- How are companies and teams organising to drive better outcomes, and what
methodologies are they relying on?

VENTURE BUILDING 2.0: PAST MISTAKES, NEW PRINCIPLES & A PATH TO DELIVERING
MEANINGFUL GROWTH



From external accelerator programs to internal incubators and failed corporate
venture funds, companies have invested billions in over-hyped innovation
programs that have mostly failed to deliver tangible innovation outcomes.

A new generation of Corporate Venture Building Models is overcoming past
mistakes to provide a new set of principles, methodologies, and governance
structures capable of delivering meaningful near-term growth.

Understanding and incorporating these new, foundational principles into your
innovation efforts can significantly accelerate innovation efforts and deliver
meaningful revenue growth.

If you want to move on from endless cycles of experimentation to in-market
activations and from “valuable lessons” to meaningful revenue growth, this
session is for you.

"What a great event! I learned as much from the attendees as I did from the
speakers and hardly ever do speakers stay around to network after their session.
I'm amazed by the format, how open, honest and authentic it was. You rarely ever
get that with these types of events - well done!"

"This conference was the best in terms of content- carefully curated and very
complimentary."

"Innov8rs is unlike any conference. It’s the only place were corporate
innovators and intrapreneurs get vulnerable and real about the challenges facing
disruptors today and work together on creating breakthrough opportunities. I try
to attend as many as possible. This is my tribe of lifelong learners and
do-ers."



"I am blown away with learnings, reflections and new insights. Such an amazing
crowd with a true sharing mentality. I have gathered so many cases for best
practice on how to run innovation, how to measure it, how to fuel
itrapreneurship etc. Further, most people I have met are really down to earth,
pragmatic and no-bulshit kind of people that are creating real impact in the
companies they work for."

"Connecting with so many other innovation professionals acted as a shot of
adrenaline reigniting my drive to transform our organization. Sometimes working
at the front-end of innovation can be a lonely place, especially in a large
100-year-old company. Last week was a refreshing reminder that we're not alone."

curating a terrific group of people to attend. I just kept having great
conversations over both days."

"All the sessions I participated in were amazing. Honestly, it’s very rare to
attend a conference with so much enthusiasm and also the fact that it’s truly
peer 2 peer."

"Hands down the best conference I’ve had the luxury of attending. I have so many
more great people in my world now and have a brain bursting with new ideas and
concepts to explore."
