Mastering the Messy Middle: Peer Workshops on Incubation Practices
TWO-PART VIRTUAL WORKSHOP BY SMARTORG
Session #1: November 10, 2026 (9:00-11:00 AM PST) and November 17, 2026 (9:00-11:00 AM PST)
Innovation leaders must commit resources before they have complete information—but that doesn’t mean betting on an entire project all at once. How do you turn a compelling innovation vision into an opportunity your organization can confidently invest in? Join a group of experienced R&D, innovation, and finance leaders to compare how organizations navigate Incubation, the messy middle of the innovation process between Discovery and Acceleration. We’ll apply a novel framework to examine what works, what gets in the way, and where your own approach could be stronger. You’ll leave with a personalized reflection map, practical next steps, and new peers committed to improving Incubation.
This two-part workshop will take place on November 10 and 17 at the same time each day. Participants are expected to attend both sessions to get the full benefit of the experience and ensure continuity, collaboration, and valuable input for the entire group.
First-Time Approval: Building High-Confidence Business Cases in Banking (and Beyond)
WEBINAR BY SMARTORG & Ulysses Partners
November 12, 2026 | 9:00 AM PST | 12:00 PM EST
Every bank investment case makes a promise, but few teams can confidently say which assumptions that promise rests on. Cases get sent back for rework and decisions stall – exactly what organizations cannot afford in the age of AI. As banks invest in projects today (including AI adoption), the cost of not understanding the few critical factors that drive outcomes rises. Uncertainty is higher, and the impact arrives sooner. A high-confidence yes-or-no decision matters more today than ever. This conversation draws on interviews with more than a dozen current and former senior bankers at global and regional banks, and on lessons from industries that make high-stakes bets as a matter of course.
