Innovation initiatives stuck in pilot purgatory, unable to scale across units

The situation this course is for

Teams launch bold pilots but collapse under the weight of context-switching, misaligned incentives, and ad-hoc resourcing when trying to replicate success across regions or product lines. The result: wasted investment, eroded credibility, and missed strategic windows.

Who this is for

Senior innovation, transformation, or digital leadership professional in a complex, multi-unit organization driving change beyond a single function

Who this is not for

Individual contributors running isolated experiments, consultants selling one-off workshops, or leaders without cross-unit delivery responsibility

What you walk away with

  • Design an innovation operating model that enables consistent replication across business units
  • Reduce time-to-scale for proven initiatives from quarters to weeks
  • Align innovation KPIs with enterprise performance metrics
  • Build reusable templates for governance, resourcing, and handoff that work across regions
  • Establish clear pathways for innovation adoption in non-core units
