 Hosted by the Institute of Innovation Management in partnership with Wazoku.

Speaker: Simon Hill, CEO & Founder of Wazoku

Innovation is often celebrated but rarely measured in a way that connects directly to strategic value creation. In this session, Simon Hill introduces a practical approach to innovation management grounded in decision intelligence, showing how organisations can quantify and compare innovation opportunities using the Expected Value (xV) model.

The webinar explores how to move from idea volume to value clarity, measure dynamic portfolio health, and treat learning and failure as measurable performance assets — helping organisations make innovation systematic, transparent, and outcome‑driven.

Hosted by the Institute of Innovation Management in partnership with HYPE Innovation and E.ON UK.

Speakers: Victoria Milne (IIM), Colin Nelson (HYPE), Saurav Chaudhuri (E.ON UK), Abu Bakkar (HLB International)

 Join us at The IIM, as we hear from Magnetic, a leading design and innovation consultancy, for an engaging hour exploring how design drives measurable business impact for innovation management.
