STOP TALKING AND START DOING: Innovation in action!

Forward-thinking organizations are leveraging the agility, creativity, and focused approach of startups to stay ahead of disruption. That said, driving meaningful action in collaboration with startups can prove difficult for established companies. For 10 years, Seamless has been helping companies avoid “innovation theater” and get real value from interactions with innovators. We find the best startups, engage in proof-of-concepts, and foster collaborative learning. We will present case studies demonstrating this model in action, and share how 'Living Labs' can be leveraged to unlock growth and testing of new technologies and business models. Bob Von Kaenel, CEO of Hope Network, will discuss his efforts to transform the 60-year-old organization through innovation and announce a new living lab established with Seamless Ventures.
