Peer Connection

Innovating Smarter Under Pressure

January 29, 2026
12:00 pm - 1:00 pm EST

Innovation is hard, especially when budgets are tight, timelines are short and expectations are sky-high.

For innovation leaders, navigating today’s pressures has never been more critical. Balancing competing demands while staying connected to real human needs is what separates organizations that simply keep up from those that truly lead.

Join fellow innovation leaders for an inspiring 60-minute virtual Peer Connection session focused on tackling the toughest challenges shaping today’s innovation landscape.

Together with our strategy and innovation experts Nick Coates, Global Director, and Steff Robbins, Insights Director, who will co-moderate the session, we’ll explore:

  • Three practical principles for smarter, more resilient innovation from The Innovation Cookbook: Recipes for Smarter Growth
  • How to navigate today’s biggest tension points, from speed vs. depth to short-term ROI vs. long-term value
  • Approaches, tools and rituals that keep teams aligned, grounded in consumer insight and focused on opportunities with real potential

This small-group discussion is designed for innovation, product and strategy leaders who want to step back from the day-to-day, learn from peers across industries and discover fresh ways to drive stronger innovation outcomes—even under pressure. It is a first-come, first-served event, and space is limited.

We hope you’ll join us for a candid, practical and energizing conversation.
