Creating a Culture of Corporate Innovation w/ Mike Tushman & Andy Binns

October 13 - 14, 2022

Innovation is no longer a word reserved for entrepreneurs and start-ups. Today, corporations that can discover and launch new business models inside organizations have the potential to disrupt their competitors and reap tremendous rewards. Companies who learn to infuse innovation practices into their culture have even greater potential and more resources than startups to turn ideas into action.

Overview

The Outthinker Strategy Network (OSN) is an invitation-only network of Chief Strategy Officers and executives leading strategy for large companies. 

OSN members get exclusive access to a global peer group of strategy executives and world-class thought-leaders. Members engage in curated learning, practical conversations, and 1:1 networking with connections hand-selected by the Outthinker team based on their needs.

The individuals representing their organizations have described the Outthinker Strategy Network as invaluable for bringing new ideas and transformative thinking into their organizations – enhancing the efficacy and success of their strategy teams and furthering the trajectory of their individual careers. 

The ultimate purpose of the Outthinker Strategy Network is to help strategy executive members in solving their top challenges.  

There are two sub-groups of the Outthinker Strategy Network. 

  1. The OSN Large Enterprise group – comprised of strategists from $1B+ revenue businesses
  2. The OSN Growth Mid-Market group – comprised of strategists from $100-$900M revenue businesses

Both of these groups are comprised of Chief Strategy Officers and executives leading strategy for their respective organizations. The Large Enterprise group and Growth Mid-Market group have a mix of programming and networking opportunities that are both exclusive and non-exclusive to their respective sub-groups.
