R&D Management Conference 2021

Below is a flavour of the R&D Management Conference 2021: Innovation in an Era of Disruption. This event has now passed.

The Coronavirus pandemic has shaken the world, as key industry sectors collapsed, supply chains fractured, workplaces shut down, social distancing and quarantine limited freedom of movement. A perfect storm highlighting global economic, business and societal disparities.

Crises are threatening as old rules are broken but they create opportunities often accelerating new ways of doing and thinking. This means exploring forces of change, challenging the status quo and mental models.

The R&D Management Conference, 2021, provided a forum for innovation experts from academe and industry to come together and debate a wide range of topics surrounding innovation management, such as technology, business models, processes, practices, leadership, culture and strategy and many others related to “Innovation in an Era of Disruption.”

Highlights 

  • Time for change – overview of the plenaries including insights from NASA
  • Will African innovations emerge from under the radar? Find out in the Wiley Book Club
  • What does the future hold? Meet the editors –  Jane List, Jeremy Hall, Bram Timmermans, Charles Henry Noble
  • Tracks stimulate discussion – see full details below
