Large companies employ a variety of methods to develop new products, services, and processes that are critical to their future. We typically refer to these as \u201cinnovation,\u201d but what we really mean is growth. Continuous and sustainable growth requires repeatable, scalable business models that create long-term competitive advantages. Every large company has a track record for innovation, that\u2019s how they became large in the first place. \u201cInnovation Capital\u201d is the combination of a company\u2019s talent, ideas, and culture, leveraged by their institutional knowledge, and fused with a capacity for rapid data acquisition. When combined with a system of real-time innovation metrics, innovation portfolio management is informed by data, maximizing returns and market position.\n\nLaunchpad Co-Founder and Executive Chairman Jim Hornthal will discuss the components of Innovation Capital, how to find and share your company's existing assets, and how to create a culture and process that maximizes use of Innovation Capital.
