Measurability of innovations and successful integration of innovation management: Talk of Peter Neske, Innovation Lead at Pfizer Healtcare Hub Freiburg
We at Healthcare Hub Freiburg are excited to contribute to this exciting format with our expertise!

Successful integration of innovation management into internal structures: Anchoring a corporate culture that promotes and demands innovation is the basis for establishing sustainable innovation management in companies. Agility, communication culture, interdisciplinary teams, methods or mindset: Which are the relevant levers?
