60 minutes with Q&AThere has been a significant shift in leadership attitudes towards innovation. Leaders now value innovation as their most important driver of growth. But even as leaders have become more interested in innovation, they still struggle to create the right structures and processes within their companies. So how do we fix this gap between aspiration and capabilities?
This is what Tendayi Viki will address during this session. He will illustrate how leaders can manage their portfolios to ensure that their company is innovating beyond the core business, develop the right programs to avoid innovation theatre and create the right culture to support and nurture innovation.
Tendayi Viki is an author and corporate innovation expert. As Associate Partner at Strategyzer, he helps companies innovate for the future while managing their core business. He has written three books; Pirates In The Navy, The Corporate Startup and The Lean Product Lifecycle.

I believe that those of us who are privileged enough to be educated, healthy, and part of powerful networks should not be doing easy things. The only way to justify our privilege is to do the hard things that society demands of us — to solve tough problems and create opportunities for others. I launched The Room to bring the most ambitious ‘doers’ together to do these hard things that will change the world. I welcome you to be a part of our story and join this global community as we make history together.
