I’m gearing up for the Corporate Portfolio Management conference Clearwater Beach, Forida, where I will be talking about how to organize to deliver a pipeline of innovative solutions.

PDMA and IIRUSA are putting it together, and I’m excited to be gathering with presentors from corporations like Intel, Johnson & Johnson, American Express and Motorola as well as Harvard Business Review, llinois Institute of Technology and Tufts Universities.

A lot of my clients want to know how to structure thier organization to actually deliver innovation. It’s a holistic approach that does not exclude the corporate culture element. You need to foster a culture of creativity and forward- thinking initiatives. I’ll be sharing a lot of case studies from companies like Kimberly-Clark, P&G, Hewlett-Packard, Visa and others who have designed unique org structures to build the critical innovation capabilities required to disrupt today’s marketplace and create economic value.

If you’ve never attended one of these conferences, I highly recommend it for next year!
