Operating Models for Innovation

Innovation doesn’t just happen - it’s built, structured, and scaled. This session spotlights how leading retailers and consumer brands are moving beyond cultures of experimentation to create dedicated functions that turn ideas into impact. From innovation hubs to startup accelerators, centres of excellence to investment businesses, discover the operating models powering true retail innovation. Leaders will share how they identify and evaluate opportunities, pilot with purpose and avoid the POC graveyard, and embed what works across the business - unlocking best-in-class solutions and competitive advantage.
