Many companies struggle to capture the gains of their innovation strategies and R&D investments because they don't go 'far enough' in the pursuit of non-core business opportunities. In his session as part of #Innov8rs SoCal, Paul C. will discuss the role of leadership in reframing company assets and business processes to match the requirements of the new business model through a process called Deconstruction-Reconstruction. Corporate executives and innovation leaders use the Deconstruction-Reconstruction process to disassemble a company's current business model and reassemble it to pursue a new business. Innovation leaders learn which functions and processes create unnecessary barriers to business creation, with specific examples from Paul's journey that include examples in Finance, HR, Supply Chain, Go-to-market, and much more. Specific tools, like CFO Whisperer, list exactly the jobs to be done by Finance that accelerate growth. Curious how to bend the C-Suite to your will?
