Software Innovation Against the Odds

Tuesday, March 17
12:30PM - 1:30PM

JW Marriott
Salon B
110 E 2nd St

In the world outside of SXSW, many businesses and organizations are ready to innovate and know that it is necessary for survival. But when the vision for digital transformation moves into reality at non-tech companies, the processes, culture, and skills of the organizations clash with the practices of rapid software development and deployment found at start-ups and within the software industry.
In this panel, you will hear first-hand accounts of innovation failures and successes at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Mayo Clinic, and Boston's MBTA. These panelists are leading technological transformations within bureaucratic, long-running enterprises through culture-challenging projects -- find out how they have done it.
