Session Title

Lessons for Innovators: Thriving Through Uncertainty

Abstract

Every business, whether startup or established enterprise, and irrespective of sector, is operating through an unprecedented level of change, complexity and ambiguity, and is under pressure to anticipate and adapt to new market conditions and customer needs. In this environment, relying upon what worked in the past is an untenable strategy.

In this session, Amy Radin will share a pragmatic and provocative perspective on what it takes to succeed as an innovator now, based on her personal experiences as an operating executive tasked with turning ideas into viable businesses in highly regulated, competitive industries, research conducted among both corporate innovators and startup founders creating value in a dozen different areas of the economy, and up-to-the-minute observations as an advisor to founders and corporate executives.
