Venture Ideation
How do we move from insight to invention inside the enterprise? Join Dave Roselle—venture builder and innovation strategist with experience at BCG Digital Ventures, Fortive, and Conduit Venture Labs—for a reflective and hands-on session on how venture studios approach ideation today.
Dave will walk through the evolving process of moving from research to venture building—including the role AI now plays in augmenting creativity, synthesis, and lateral thinking. We’ll explore:
What creativity really looks like in venture studios
Techniques and tools for idea generation and problem definition
How AI is being used for synthesis, ideation prompts, and extreme lateral thinking
The pre-work that matters: timing, framing, and prompting
A visual portfolio of AI tools and techniques used across the ideation process
This is both a demo and a conversation—come ready to engage, explore real tools (including a Miro-based prompt bank), and reimagine how you spark ideas within your organization.
