Innovation Pivots – Strategic or the kiss of death?
Part of Innovate New Albany's TIGER Talks Series: Technology firms struggle to remain relevant in the relentless challenge to innovate in today’s high-velocity dynamic markets. They must pivot in response to external forces more quickly; and they experience more turbulence and uncertainty. Lori Kendall’s talk will draw upon case examples from her research and consulting practice about how successful firms out-pivot their peers by leveraging a strong innovation culture and human connection.
Speaker: As a consultant, executive, and educator, Lori Kendall, Ph.D., specializes in guiding organizations through critical inflection points of organizational formation, growth, and strategic pivots to drive transformative business change. Lori‘s has been a serial entrepreneur in cloud infrastructure, business process outsourcing, and data analytics - as well as a corporate executive specializing in operational excellence in business operations, new product development, M&A integration, and go-to-market value delivery chains.

More recently, Lori earned her Ph.D. in Management at Case Western Reserve University where her research focused on management and leadership practices associated with 1) early-stage firm formation and 2) mature-stage strategic pivots.
