Join the conversation on Twitter via #CLFchat 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. This discussion will cover topics such as: What conditions make the innovation lab concept appropriate? How does an innovation lab choose technology areas and projects? What are some projects Capital One Labs has worked on? How does a lab find and hire the right personnel and skill sets? What are common mistakes companies make when setting up an innovation lab and how should they avoid them?
