How to Drive Upside and De-Risk Innovation─Live Software Demo
WEBINAR by SMARTORG
Thursday, May 21, 2026| 9:00 AM – 10:00 AM
See how Innovation Navigator® helps teams pursue upside and reduce risk! This latest demo also highlights new software updates introduced since the last session. Incubation─the messy, misunderstood, and under-managed phase of the innovation process─is where teams must pursue upside, reduce risk, and build confidence in the business case for highly uncertain opportunities. Many organizations still rely on inconsistent processes that make it hard prioritize learning, align stakeholders, and make sound funding decisions. Innovation Navigator® is a software-supported method that offers a better way.
3rd Incubation Deep-Dive workshop
Event by SMARTORG
June 23, 2026 from 1-5 PM ET | MaRS Centre, Toronto, Ontario (collocated with Innov8rs Toronto)
Our next regional Incubation Deep-Dive workshop will be held in Toronto this coming June. We are curating a group of 15 innovation practitioners for another peer-to-peer session focused on Incubation – the most misunderstood and mis-managed phase of innovation. Participants will share common problem areas and real-world practices that work, compare approaches across organizations, and identify specific opportunities to upgrade their own incubation systems. If you work in the area or are heading to Innov8rs Toronto (which starts the next day), we’d love to have you join us!
