Corporate Innovation Fusion 2023

From Innovation Theater to Business Impact

Worldclass Speakers

Inspiration, Networking & Showtime

In the second year of our Corporate Fusion event, two corporates join forces: as a collaborative event between Siemens Digital Industries & Bosch Innovation Consulting, we discuss various inspiring topics, this time focusing on overcoming the innovation theater and turning it into business impact.

Not only the content of the keynotes and discussions are a reason to be there. Artistic acts and a breathtaking scenery of a real theater complete this unique event.

Don't miss this one-of-a-kind experience! We are looking forward to welcoming you to this event!

15:40 | Getting Leaders out of the Theater

Andy is the lead author of book "Corporate Explorer: How Corporations Beat Entrepreneurs at the Innovation Game" with Charles O'Reilly and Michael Tushman and co-editor of "Corporate Explorer Fieldbook" (to be published in August 2023). He is a director and co-founder of Change Logic, a Boston-based strategic advisory firm, where he works with CEOs, boards, and senior teams as they lead significant business change.

Andy will talk about the role of senior leaders in creating a culture of exploration. Senior leader behavior is the most cited barrier to success, but most Corporate Explorers feel powerless to change it. Drawing on new research, Andy will argue that we need to learn to teach leaders how to better support exploration. They will not find out on their own!
