"The Ambidextrous Organization"
How do organizations balance solving today's problems while innovating for tomorrow?
Tobias and Martin shared theories and background on why organizations need to focus BOTH on the problems with products and solutions of today AND at the same time pay attention to the future if they want to survive. Martin added practical experience on how Volvo Construction Equipment has worked with this in reality via Volvo Concept Lab, prototyping, and innovation coaches.
