Stephanie Simon, the former Performance Solutions Director at Fidelity Labs, joined us for an hour-long webcast focused on how the financial services firm created a year-long curriculum to cultivate innovation leaders in one of the company’s key business units. The webcast covered the program’s objectives, timeline, staffing, skills taught, external resources used, and the learnings so far. In addition to Simon, two other Fidelity executives offered their perspectives on the initiative, known as the “Innovation Ambassadors Program”: Tony Parham, the VP of Innovation and Strategy at Fidelity Labs, and Rob Venuti, a VP of Digital Innovation who has been the training program’s business-side sponsor.
Rick Smyers of Fidelity Investments explains how you can put the right strategy, tools, and people in place to make a real impact — and details some of his team’s successful projects.
