Fireside Chat Next Tuesday: Innovation Labs - Pushing the Boundaries of Enterprise IT

sherly, Enterprise IT organizations are under tremendous pressure to create new business offerings, deliver them quickly to market, and then improve and extend them rapidly, as ActiveState’s Stackato Vision describes. An increasingly popular way to do this is setting up an innovation lab — a separate group charged with accelerating innovation and incorporating new technologies and skill sets. In the next fireside chat, Jason Valentino, Director of Systems Operations at Capital One Labs, joins Bernard Golden to discuss the innovation lab concept and explore effective methods to integrate a lab with the main IT organization.
