Mark Zawacki is a business strategist, keynote speaker and angel investor and a member of the AND Digital Advisory Board. He is a founder of 650 Labs, a strategy firm that supports multinationals globally understand the broad-based disruption across industries now emanating from Silicon Valley. Mark helps many large non-tech companies navigate through and around disruption in order to sustain market share, grow revenue and remain relevant for the long term. Prior to 650 Labs and Milestone Group, Mark spent nearly a decade as a strategy consultant with the CSC Index, variously based in Amsterdam, London, Sydney and San Francisco.
Currently, Mark is co-leading a research initiative on 'core vs edge innovation', and how large multinationals will need to fundamentally rethink their current approach to transformative and strategic innovation.
Within this breakfast, Mark will discuss his early research results where leading global organisations have shared their recent experiences with edge innovation models. Attendees will be able to engage in a open discussion around the organisational roadblocks and cultural barriers to corporate innovation and understand that they are easier to overcome than they think.
The breakfast will run at Cloud 23 Bar, Hilton Hotel, 303 Deansgate, Manchester M3 4LQ from 8.15 - 10.30am in Manchester.
