About the Event

Innovation has routinely been used to address problems of today instead of unmet needs of tomorrow. As companies transform themselves by addressing unmet needs of the future, how should an innovation leader build a transformational innovation function? Lux is convening a complimentary Executive Roundtable to coalesce the mindsets, approaches, and skills that an innovation leader should adopt to build a highly effective innovation function that paves the way for a company’s transformation.

This invitation-only opportunity offers:

  • Exclusive gathering to tackle big challenges in innovation-related decision making — complimentary for Lux clients.
  • Invitation-only event for C-level leaders within large, global companies in adjacent industries.
  • Peer-group learning, contributing, and networking around critical leadership issues.
  • Confidential, safe space for CTOs, CIOs, CSOs, and CEOs to engage in open, intellectual dialogue — guided by Lux and molded by the leaders in the Roundtable.
  • Actionable takeaways, including frameworks and follow-on conversations.

Leadership Challenge: Innovation as a Business

Sourcing and fueling growth with sustainable, profitable, best-fit innovation is hard; assembling an innovation engine that does this, by design, is harder.

  • As innovation leaders start owning the middle of the innovation funnel and strongly influencing the back end, how can they begin running the innovation function like a business?
  • How should the innovation leader translate strategic priorities into credible approaches that yield not just commercial success for new products but also create viable new businesses?
13:15 – 14:15

Potential Avenues: Focus on Frameworks

On the path to transforming the innovation function, frameworks can serve as thinking aids and help build consensus.

  • What frameworks and criteria have you used to translate strategic priorities into transformational innovation priorities, initiatives, and projects? What challenges do you encounter as you use these frameworks?
  • To aid in this process, Lux will share the results of a 100-respondent survey that yielded interesting insights on existing innovation decision-making frameworks, and suggested criteria to incorporate.
  • What approaches are you utilizing to turn ideas into transformational businesses?
14:15 – 14:30
Networking Coffee Break
14:30 – 15:30

Critical Inputs: Talent, Leadership, and AI

Innovation leaders consistently report a deficit in highly skilled innovation and sustainability talent.  

  • With AI in our midst, what are the right skills for your next junior/midlevel hire within your innovation organization?
  • What capabilities will the future Chief Technology/Innovation Officer need to embody to drive transformational growth within their company?
  • How are you employing AI to prioritize/address areas of transformational innovation? 
15:30 – 15:45

Taking Action: Three Questions

  • What is the biggest learning from today’s discussion, and how will you operationalize it within your own organization?
  • What questions remain in your mind about the ideas, challenges, and solutions that we discussed today?
  • What would you suggest as a topic/agenda for our next Executive Roundtable?
