Members-Only Meetings

We regularly convene IL members for discussions on topics of interest — which members suggest. These meetings take place on Zoom, and they are designed to be candid conversations among peers, as opposed to passive webcasts. If you’re a current IL member and are logged in, you will see a short registration form (or calendar links) beneath the description of each meeting. We always like to hear suggestions for future meeting topics from our members.

For a complete calendar of all of our in-person and online gatherings, please visit our events page.

April 4th at 12 PM ET: How can innovators beat the odds — and create more winners?  

For our April members’ meeting, we’ll be joined by  Stuart Jackson and Ilya Trakhtenberg, the co-authors of the new book Predictable Winners: A Handbook for Developing, Forecasting, and Launching New Products and Services. In it, they address the challenge that 80-90 percent of new product and service innovations fail. They say these odds can be improved with a leadership mindset that manages uncertainty through a systematic approach at each step of the innovation journey. We’ll dive into their ideas in our April conversation — including the biggest pitfalls to avoid.


* To participate in our members-only meetings, you’ll need an active membership to InnoLead. Contact Scott Cohen with questions.
