Open days by Untile | 6th Edition
Innovating without putting the core at risk: How Corporates test new ideas with controlled risk
How do you experiment boldly when there's a lot to lose?
In this edition of Open Days by Untile, we explore one of the most pressing challenges facing large organizations today: how to pursue innovation without endangering what already works. Because in established companies, the stakes are higher. A failed experiment isn't just a learning opportunity, it can shake the foundations of a business built over decades.
Our speakers will share how they've created space for new ideas while protecting what matters most through smart governance, clear decision-making frameworks, and a culture that knows the difference between calculated risk and reckless bets.
If you're a founder, product leader, strategist, or anyone navigating the tension between growth and stability, this session is for you.
