Scaling Innovation: From Pilot to Production
The hardest part of innovation isn't the idea. It's what comes after it works.
This Tech Thursday we'll dive into what happens after innovation shows early success and how organizations move from pilots and initial projects into scalable, sustained impact.
We’ll explore:
What changes when something that works needs to be integrated more broadly
The organizational challenges that come with scaling (process, people, adoption)
What tends to break down between pilot and production
What it takes to turn one-off success into something repeatable
Featuring:
Khaled Abdelwahab – Sales Director, North America at Nokia
Sienna Hermary – Co-founder & CEO at Urban Camel & Business Development Specialist - Cybersecurity at Invest Ottawa
Russell Smiley – Fractional CTO at Byting Chipmunk
Moderated by: Dan Premachuk, Program Admin of Technology Innovation Management Program at Carleton University
