It seems that innovation is an afterthought and innovation leaders do not have a powerful seat at the table. During this webinar Webinar, we will share lessons from three innovation leaders on how innovators can build their reputation and influence within a company. We will be examining topics such as how to evaluate the success of your current innovation programs, how to get an early win and how to build relationships with key functions such as legal and finance. Join Alex Osterwalder and Tendayi Viki in conversation with Christian Lindener - Global Head of Airbus Bizlabs; Line Lyst - Global Head of New Ventures and Commercial Partnership at GN; and Mario Zorn - Head of Product Development and Innovation at Airplus International.
