Spring

Sourcing PRedictive Insights for New Growth

Created by IRI in collaboration with RTI International Innovation Advisors to explore trends impacting innovation management.

SPRING participants get access to early market signals, connect with new startup companies, learn through immersive experiences, and gain insights from thought leaders.

The 2018 SPRING experience helped participants to begin preparing their organizations to capitalize on future trends and recognize future threats related to intelligent systems. We are currently soliciting input for our focus trend for 2019. SPRING helps you:

Learn.

Get the deep understanding you need through immersion: curated content and experiences that will bring future(s) to life.

Focus.

Hear how pioneers are responding to this trend. Get tools to identify the threats and opportunities that may emerge for you.

Act.

Learn how to take these insights back to your organization. Shape your innovation and business strategy to prepare for long-term success.

Building organizational conviction and foresight requires more than reading a report. Throughout the year, you can expect the following:

Progressive learning modules
Webinars with thought leaders
Special interactive sessions at the IRI Annual Conference
Immersion experiences to visit technology leaders, pick their brains, and discuss implications with peers
Monthly newsletters with updates, insights, and additional resources
An interactive report out and exploration of key findings

The SPRING program culminated in the SPRINGBOARD conference at RTI International in Research Triangle Park, NC, on October 23rd and 24th, 2018, where participants will shared key insights from the research journey, heard from cutting edge thought leaders, discussed the implications of trends with peers, and investigated how these emerging trends are likely to impact their organizations.
