Find the Pirate in the Navy: Innovating in Highly Regulated Markets
A practical webinar on how regulated organizations can unlock entrepreneurial thinking, empower employees to become innopreneurs, and create innovation without losing control of compliance.
Innovation can thrive inside compliance-heavy environments
Highly regulated industries often face a familiar tension: the need to innovate while operating within strict frameworks, controls, and compliance expectations. This webinar explores how organizations can foster creativity without breaking the systems that keep them safe and compliant.
Supply Chain Wizard and Hekatron’s Innovation Manager Georgiana Menny discuss how to unlock the inner “pirate,” the entrepreneurial spirit that drives disruption, while navigating the “navy’s” structure, governance, and rules.
A practical way to balance creativity, structure, and compliance
The session covers frameworks, case examples, and practical strategies for building innovation capabilities in heavily regulated industries.
The Kickbox Approach
A proven framework for empowering employees to generate, test, and implement innovative ideas.
The Hekatron case study
How an industry leader continues to innovate while operating inside a highly regulated space.
Managing ambidexterity
How teams can balance innovation with compliance, governance, quality, and execution discipline.
Innovation pipelines
How to move from scattered ideas to a sustainable pipeline that turns creativity into action.
Your organization needs both the pirate and the navy
The goal is not to choose between disruption and structure. The real advantage comes from creating a system where both can work together.
The Pirate
The entrepreneurial force inside the organization that questions assumptions, tests new ideas, and challenges how things have always been done.
- Encourages creativity and ownership
- Turns constraints into new opportunities
- Pushes teams to test and learn faster
The Navy
The operating structure that protects quality, safety, compliance, and reliability in industries where control is essential.
- Creates clear boundaries and governance
- Protects compliance and operational integrity
- Turns promising ideas into scalable execution
