Making Innovation Measurable: The Strategies Behind the Metrics
Discover how leading companies align innovation with business outcomes. ITONICS brings together top innovation minds to uncover the metrics that matter – and the strategies that drive them.
What to expect?
We warmly invite you to an exclusive Innovation Brunch in London, co-hosted by ITONICS and National Grid. The event will center around the theme “Innovation That Counts: Strategies and Metrics for Measurable Impact”.
In large organizations like National Grid, innovation is not a standalone initiative - it’s a collaborative effort spanning teams, departments, and strategic priorities. But how can innovation be effectively steered and measured? What frameworks help ensure alignment with business goals, and how do we demonstrate the real value of innovation?
Join innovation, strategy, and technology leaders to explore how successful innovation management structures are built in complex enterprise environments. Gain hands-on insights into best practices, proven methods, and learn how digital platforms can support smarter innovation reporting and cross-functional collaboration.
A shared lunch and ample time for open networking will provide the perfect opportunity to connect with peers, exchange experiences, and take away fresh inspiration for your own innovation strategy.
