Location:

Holiday Inn London - Kensington Forum

The trouble with innovation is that, by definition, it involves a moving target. Technologies change, markets shift, financial, political and competitive environments are unstable – and so even if we develop some good recipes for organising and managing the innovation process we run the risk of being upstaged by something unexpected coming at us out of left field. For this reason smart organisations are constantly reviewing their approach to innovation, asking themselves what they need to do more of, less of and different. Not for nothing is innovation management called a dynamic capability.

That’s the principle which underlines the Innovation-Labs – a network of public and private sector organisations and academics who meet together on a regular basis to share ideas, experiences, tools, techniques about shifts along the innovation frontier and how to deal with them. This one-day conference brought together this community (now active in 15 countries) who shared some perspectives and explored some emerging themes.

- Fabian Schlage, Nokia Siemens Network
