Leadership Series Session 5: A practical approach to technology innovation in your organisation

In a world where technology innovation is constantly creating new opportunities and challenges, how, as leaders, can we prioritise digital solutions that create the greatest impact for our organisations?

While the possibilities are seemingly endless, what are the practical and affordable ways to harness the power of technology to provide our organisations and entrepreneurs with valuable platforms and applications? Through shared experiences from YBI Member CEOs who have successfully prototyped technology to meet their needs, we explore the optimal approaches to technology innovation and how to focus on development that can make the greatest difference.

From the principles of technology prototyping to determining the feasibility of investment, the final session of this year’s Leadership Series seeks to build confidence and provide practical guidance for how Member CEOs can harness the value of digital innovation.

I worked with leaders at organisations such as The Trade Desk, The Guardian, DCM, Mail Metro Media, Spotify, Channel 4 and Global, so I retain a strong context of the challenges and opportunities faced in the current UK and European media markets.
