Today’s top innovative companies are focusing their innovation firepower on critical challenges of the world such as climate crisis to social justice, taking on some of the world’s most urgent and pressing events. Innovative organisations are leveraging on new business models, service innovations, and applying technologies to disrupt industries and develop new markets globally.
Boards are in a unique position to help their companies redefine the future through pre-emptive innovation. It can be hard to know when to pull the trigger to change a company’s course and to determine whether it is the strategy that needs changing or the CEO’s implementation or both.
This edition of PowerTalk in our “Sustainability Series – (Re)Building the Board for Innovation” talks about the meaning of disruption and how innovation can be a potential cure for that; while linking back to the sustainability strategy of the organisation. Professor Sattar will share some tips on best practices, tools and frameworks to develop a process for innovation and help boards and organisations scale the path of sustainable growth.
