Presenters: Samhitha Udupa, VP Product Operations, and Shriram Ramanathan, Ph.D., VP & Group Director at Lux Research
The corporate innovation arena is littered with “sustainable” solutions that didn’t deliver financial returns and potentially lucrative technology innovations that failed to anticipate consumer backlash. As corporations experience increasing pressure to become more sustainable without compromising on growth, business leaders face an ongoing dilemma: How can companies make balanced, practical choices with limited resources that lead to financial success and a positive impact on people and the planet?
In this webinar, we will present a framework to help innovation managers evaluate and compare disparate technologies and build a portfolio that will balance financial returns, sustainability, and risk.
