Innovation – easy to say but invariably difficult to manage. Why does this matter? Because without innovation your customers will eventually leave you for innovative competitors that can better serve their needs.

Attendees will be provided with a range of tools, insights, and knowledge to help avoid the pitfalls, overcome the barriers and succeed with innovation, including:
- Thinking strategically using a multi-perspective approach
- Understanding the competitive drivers for innovation
- Balancing innovation opportunities with risk
- Managing innovation programmes as a strategic process
- Exploring strategic innovation at Rolls-Royce plc and Apple inc
