Our next meeting, chaired by Frederic de Ryckman de Betz from H*OLD Self Storage, will look beyond individual innovations to explore how businesses create, manage, and sustain innovation.
We’ll hear directly from previous Innovation Award winners, who will share the stories behind their award-winning ideas and the approaches they use to foster innovation within their businesses; we’ll also be joined by Hunter Webb from Landlord Storage Software, who will bring a next-generation perspective to the conversation and outline what he sees as key differentiators between innovators and others in the space.
We’ll explore:
- Where does innovation come from?
What made their award-winning entry stand out, and how did the idea come about? - How do you build an innovative culture?
What does innovation mean to different businesses, and how can leaders encourage their teams to think differently? - How do you turn ideas into action?
How do businesses identify the ideas worth pursuing, manage risk and decide where to invest time and resources? - What gets in the way?
From practical barriers to cultural challenges, what can prevent innovation, and how can businesses overcome it? - What’s next?
Which areas will create the biggest opportunities for operators and suppliers over the next 12–18 months? - What can we learn from those already doing it?
Our award winners will share their experiences, lessons learned and one key piece of advice for businesses looking to become more innovative.
Finally, we will outline what the SSA UK look for in an entry for the Innovation Award, offering hints and tips to make your entry stand out.
Join us for an open, practical discussion about what innovation really looks like and what it takes to stay ahead.
