Crisis response - innovation leaders share

Companies are scrambling to adjust to a "new normal" in the face of a global crisis that has us sheltering in place and social distancing. There simply is no playbook on how to manage a business through this time of extreme externally driven disruption.

Watch as Andy Michuda, CEO Sopheon moderates a candid live conversation with Jeff George, SVP R&D Hain Celestial Group, Steve Moskowitz, Innovation Management & Digital Innovation, Office of CTO, Entegris, Cemil Inan, Director of Product Management, Arçelik Group and Scott Kirsner, CEO and Co-Founder of Innovation Leader.

Questions the panel covered:

  • How the pandemic crisis is impacting their business and what they are doing now

  • What's working and what isn’t

  • The biggest challenge facing the business now that virtual workforces have likely “settled in.”

  • What and how they are prioritizing business activities

  • Approaches and processes they are adopting to operate in today’s environment

  • The tools they are using to work remotely, collaborate cross-functionally and keep moving forward

  • How they are planning for the next six - 12 month period and into the future

  • Key learnings and experiences they can share with others
