AGENDA
11:00AM: Aligning Innovation Business Strategy
- Mike Hatrick, Vice President IP Strategy & Portfolio, Volvo Group
Mike Hatrick is an experienced innovation leader. As an FEI board member he knows that there is a feeling in the community that the innovation discipline feels that it’s ‘always restarting.’ Mandates from the board or C-suite, global pandemics, geopolitical tensions, macroeconomic indicators—there are any number of reasons why innovation feels like it’s not aligned with business strategy. But that doesn’t have to be the case moving forward. Hatrick dives in on a few examples of how innovation aligns with business strategy either successfully or unsuccessfully. And he pulls out a few gems that you can put to use immediately.
