EVENT DETAILS
As technologies and access to information continue to evolve at a rapid rate, the most compelling innovative companies tend to be relatively new. Their business model is built around disrupting existing infrastructure, agility and tapping into the latest consumer behavior trends.

What about older, larger and more traditional companies? To remain successful, many are attempting to emulate the smaller innovators and reimagine themselves. They are developing in-house hubs of innovation to innovate without legacy systems and processes and that largely operate separately to the rest of the company. For them, being big might mean having to be small again.

But is this the right business model for success in a large corporation? It is too easily forgotten that big companies that are around today have successfully survived economic downturns and periods of massive change and disruption. Is it therefore really necessary to scrap the old model and build something new, or can you build innovation within the existing framework?

As FT Innovate returns for a fifth ground-breaking year in the States, we explore the behavior of truly innovative companies -- how they re-model themselves to address what today's market needs, but also ensure longevity so they are still relevant in the future.
