Driving a Culture of Innovation in Big Organisations – Overcoming Risk Aversion and Short-Term Thinking
Innovation in large organisations is often stifled by a risk-averse mindset and the pressure to deliver immediate results over long-term impact. This challenge has become even more pressing in the age of AI and continuous change, where businesses must adapt rapidly to evolving technologies, shifting market dynamics, and new ways of working.
This workshop will explore how corporate innovators can shift the culture to embrace calculated risk-taking and balance short-term wins with long-term vision, ensuring they stay ahead in an era of disruption.
Drawing on real-world case studies and hands-on exercises, participants will learn how to build and empower an intrapreneurial culture, develop innovation resilience, and create an environment where experimentation thrives—even in the face of uncertainty. Attendees will gain practical frameworks to help teams persist through setbacks, reframe failure as learning, and align innovation efforts with both immediate business priorities and long-term growth opportunities.
