Presentation with DuPont & Qnity

October 2026

The Innovation Research Interchange podcast episode explores how DuPont and Qnity developed and scaled a Lean Innovation framework to speed learning, bridge the gap between technical certainty and customer needs, and support better decision-making across R&D, commercial, and leadership teams.

Speakers share how coaching, structured cohorts, and events like “Dead Projects Day” helped destigmatize failure, the ROI achieved through earlier pivots and stops, and how the capability endured through company separation while continuing to evolve with digital tools and a learn-it-all mindset.
