Manyone invites you to their event
About this event
Being a large organization once meant strength, stability, and scale. But today, size can be a disadvantage. The bigger you are, the harder it is to adapt, especially as technology evolves faster than ever.
In this session, Mike Ebener (Founder at Ask Safely, previously at Walmart) and Mikkel Stange (Partner and Strategy Director at Manyone) will explore how even the most established companies can stay nimble in the face of accelerating innovation. Drawing from both the strategic design agency perspective and the inside view of a Product Director at a global corporation, they’ll unpack what it takes to keep moving forward when the systems around you are built for yesterday’s success.
If you’re curious about what goes on behind the scenes when large companies work to bring you some of the services you might use every day, this session is for you.
You’ll gain insights on:
Today’s tools are democratizing innovation. Being big isn’t necessarily an advantage anymore. In some cases, it might be what’s holding you back.
Join us for a candid, hands-on session and open Q&A about what it really takes to stay innovative.
