As corporates shift toward decentralized innovation, the need for cohesive strategies is more critical than ever. With business units driving both core and non-core growth, a robust foundation—like an "Innovation Factory"—ensures alignment, prevents duplicative efforts, and maximizes resource efficiency. For leaders in large organizations who are navigating this shift, proactive organizational design and shared systems are key to sustainable innovation. Want to explore how this impacts your organization? Reach out for a 1:1 conversation with June Barrage from Disruptive Edge jbarrage@disruptiveedge.com, and Rachel Gordon from Triple Agent rachel@tripleagent.co.
