R&D organizations are under constant pressure to deliver breakthrough innovation; yet many struggle with delayed projects, shifting priorities, and unclear ownership. Methodologies like Agile, Prince2, or DMADV promise structure, but real success depends on something deeper: strong fundamentals in planning, governance, and continuous improvement.

Join us in an engaging session with Filippo Larceri, Global Head of PMO at Sonion, Netherlands, on how organizations can strengthen execution discipline without constraining creativity. The talk will explore how to clarify roles between technical experts and project managers, foster collaboration excellence, and embed project management as an organizational capability rather than a departmental process.

In this talk, you will learn how to:

• Build governance and planning routines that support, rather than slow down, innovation
• Bridge the gap between technical expertise and project management for faster, more predictable delivery
• Embed project management discipline as a leadership-driven capability across the organization
• Transform project management from an administrative necessity into a strategic enabler of innovation
