Disruption creates both risk & opportunity. This workshop gives your organisation a practical playbook for building resilience, managing uncertainty, and unlocking growth through disciplined innovation.


By attending, you will learn how to:

  • Strengthen strategic innovation: Learn how to anticipate disruption, build an innovation thesis, connect innovation directly to business priorities, and align product development portfolios with long-term strategy
  • Improve portfolio performance: Reduce wasteful spending & improve portfolio balance by implementing modern frameworks and applying disciplined decision-making to your product development environment
  • Accelerate product development: Use experiment-driven development to reduce development cycle times, validate assumptions faster, and bring successful products to market sooner
  • Boost innovation success rates: Implement standardised metrics that measure both progress & outcomes, ensure development goals are targetted against real-world data, and create clarity across projects through universal & comparable measures
  • Enhance cultural resilience: Shift attitudes towards innovation by embedding fair & scalable performance measures, normalising failure as valuable data gathering, and encouraging cross-functional collaboration
  • Build organisational discipline: Adopt robust & mature innovation processes across teams to simplify management, create governance that augments rather than stifles creativity, and encourage risk-informed decision-making
  • Improve communication: Utilise a shared language of innovation to communicate development progress and ensure leadership’s confidence in innovation’s value
