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.

- Sustainability use case – Applying the framework to ESG decisions.
