Structured decision-making for innovation: Opportunity vs feasibility

This webinar explores how organisations can make better innovation and R&D investment decisions when information is limited and uncertainty is high. The session introduces a structured opportunity–feasibility framework for prioritising early-stage projects, supported by practical examples and a real-world case study from Grundfos.

AGENDA

  • Innovation decision challenges – Why uncertainty and limited data make early decisions difficult.
  • Decision-making bias – How cognitive bias affects choices under uncertainty.
  • Opportunity vs. Feasibility – The structured framework for comparing innovation initiatives.
  • Prioritisation matrix – Using the matrix to select, defer, or stop projects.
  • Grundfos case study – Real-world application and benefits.
  • Sustainability use case – Applying the framework to ESG decisions.
  • Other applications – Risk, capability, and compliance examples.
