To coincide with the release of our Benchmarking Innovation Impact 2020 report, sponsored by KPMG LLP, we brought together a group of innovation professionals in Chicago to discuss some of the report’s findings. The event was hosted by KPMG at their new Chicago Ignition Center.

The roundtable opened with a discussion of what metrics and reporting mechanisms participants use to gauge progress. Participants also broke up into smaller groups to discuss issues of interest, including funding and governance. For information about the next roundtables in our Underground series, please see our event calendar.
