About
An ERA-curated thematic profile exploring how leaders select meaningful organizational problems, manage innovation portfolios, and make evidence-informed investment decisions. Sessions examine strategic experimentation, evidence thresholds, resource allocation, and decisions to scale, revise, pause, or stop emerging ideas—rather than identifying or interpreting technology trends.
Sessions
Experiment First or Wait? Making Better Technology Decisions
Leaders must decide when to test emerging technologies and when to wait for greater maturity. Explore how to assess uncertainty, design manageable experiments, evaluate results, and determine whether an innovation deserves wider adoption.
What Problem Is This Innovation Supposed to Solve?
Innovation efforts often begin with an attractive technology rather than a clearly defined organizational need. Explore how leaders can frame the problem, identify affected stakeholders, establish evidence of value, and define measurable outcomes before committing significant resources.
Building an Innovation Portfolio Beyond the Hype Cycle
Organizations rarely face a single innovation choice. Explore how leaders can balance incremental improvements, strategic experiments, and longer-term bets, allocate resources across different levels of uncertainty, and review the portfolio as evidence changes.
