RTM: In Their Own Words: Accelerate Innovation Through Early-Stage Experimentation. 

VIRTUAL EVENT

SEPTEMBER 5, 2024

Jeanne Liedtka, Stefano Magistretti, and Liz Chen will discuss how experimentation in the early stages of the innovation process can accelerate innovation. 

Join us for “RTM: In Their Own Words,” on Thursday, September 5 at 12:00 pm EDT, for a conversation in which the authors present a 5-step model designed to help managers become more adept at early-stage experimentation. They will also discuss specific practices around what is being tested, how it is being tested, and what is learned.  

Practitioner Takeaways:

  • Conducting fast, simple experiments at the early stages of the innovation process can help practitioners manage innovation costs and risks.
  • Practitioners can use this 5-step process model for early-stage experimentation that is scalable across organizational levels and functions. 
  • By creating a strategic capability for experimentation that is systematic and scalable, a firm can enhance its ability to adapt to change and exploit opportunities in an uncertain world.

Cost: Free

Registrants will receive a copy of the article, “A Process Model for Early-Stage Experimentation to Accelerate Innovation,” which was published in RTM Volume 67, Issue 4. The article is also available here.
