At first glance, lean and innovation may seem at odds – one about efficiency, the other about experimentation. But today’s Global Centers are proving otherwise.
Far from requiring massive investments, innovation can thrive in focused, high-impact sprints, driven by agile methods and lean teams with an enterprise mindset.
Join us for The CIO Advantage: Global Centers as Lean Innovation Engines to explore how Global Centers are helping CIOs reimagine innovation – building nimble, cost-effective engines of growth that deliver rapid, measurable business value.
This session will unpack how today’s Global Centers are evolving beyond traditional models to become powerful platforms for transformation, leveraging technologies like AI and automation while staying aligned to enterprise outcomes.
Hear from global leaders on how they’re driving innovation with speed and intention. Discover how your Global Center can do more with less, and do it better.
