Governance in Innovation with Andy Michuda – Sopheon

Posted on May 6, 2021 by Design in Design Innovation | 0 Comments

Andy Michuda is the President and CEO of Sopheon. He is an internationally recognized speaker, regularly presenting on topics related to innovation management tools and best practices for improving critical business processes. Since the 1990s, he has been helping Fortune 500 companies and large multinationals with knowledge management implementation and new product development solutions. Andy previously worked in computer technology with Control Data Corporation and holds a Bachelor’s degree in Resource Management from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and completed the Executive Program of Masters in Business at Columbia University.

Andy joins me today to discuss the current state of governance in innovation. He shares why repeatable innovation is difficult and why disruption is a top agenda item in the boardroom, as traditional market-leading companies grapple with the challenges of moving faster and with agility and speed. Andy reveals how the executive-level response compares to that of the people in the trenches as they react to the threats and disruption in innovation. He highlights why more frequent communication and engagement on strategy is essential and explores the misuse, confusion, and abuse of the word ‘agile’ in business. Andy also shares how companies will leverage intelligence-based technologies to predict, instead of react, to consumer behaviors and reveals the characteristics that make the best innovators.

“Move very quickly towards finding where the check and balance of governance really matter and make a difference.” – Andy Michuda
