Duration: 60 min

Open innovation is now a standard part of corporate strategy but making it deliver results at scale remains a challenge. In this TECH TALK, Giacomo Silvestri, ENI shares how open innovation works in practice in a large, asset-heavy and regulated organisation. He is joined by Benjamin N. Haddad, Accenture, who brings a cross-industry perspective on why many initiatives stall at the pilot stage. Moderated by Vibha Gaba, Professor of Entrepreneurship at INSEAD, the discussion moves beyond idea sourcing to focus on selection, integration and value creation at scale.
Why join:
- Understand why many open innovation efforts fail to scale
- Learn how organisations manage innovation overload and make clearer choices
- Explore outcome-first approaches that align innovation with core business priorities
