Companies—particularly large companies—have complex portfolios and teams, and with them come a huge range of challenges. This talk explores why it's more important than ever to nurture a strong innovation culture. We uncover the formula for strong innovation culture, and the elements within, what an innovation culture looks like in the day-to-day, and how to make space for it in your own organization. You'll see by the end of this talk why innovation involves the whole team, and how the team can be involved, and how practical tools like roadmapping and OKRs can provide the alignment and autonomy your team needs to power a healthy culture of innovation.
