FIAL invites leaders, decision makers and business owners of Australian food and beverage businesses to attend our Transforming Innovation Program.
Every company has an innovation culture, even if you didn't know you have one. What used to work as an approach to innovation is not working as well as it once did. Fluctuating market, supply chain and consumer preferences are becoming less predictable. Making sure your business can effectively pivot in response to these fluctuations is becoming more important. As your business grows or pivots, knowing why you innovate the way you do and how to adapt to growing market and supply chain uncertainty can strengthen how you take on your next innovation opportunity.
Innovation can be represented in many ways. FIAL's Transforming Innovation Program takes into account the different formats of innovation and not only looks at how you approach innovation, but gives you the tools to seek innovation across your whole business. The program also shows you how to capitalise on global market and consumer trends to capture new innovation opportunities.
