Thanks to Innov8rs for hosting the October online Learning Lab. There were many great sessions & discussions covering the key topics of Strategy, Leadership, Portfolio Management & Governance. It’s great to see the evolution of the best practices and understanding of the innovation community as a whole. Topics that were new insights and concepts ten years ago now have multiple experts and practitioners discussing and refining them.
