Episode 1: Rapid Experimentation & Scaling in Enterprise Innovation with Peter Roeber

Have you ever wondered why some companies can innovate at scale - while others get stuck in endless pilots and stalled initiatives?

In this episode of Transformation 2.0, we speak with Peter Roeber, Strategic Growth & Innovation Leader at W. L. Gore & Associates, about what it takes to test new ideas inside a global organisation - and actually get them to market.

We explore how W. L. Gore & Associates empowers teams to run rapid experiments, validate assumptions early, and make data-informed decisions about whether to kill, pivot, or persevere. Whether you’re leading innovation, managing a product team, or driving transformation across an enterprise, this episode will help you rethink how you approach evidence, alignment, and scaling.

Key Takeaways:

✅ Innovation fails when intuition replaces evidence

✅ The best innovation teams test “deathblow assumptions” first

✅ Great cultures support experimentation and celebrate what gets killed

✅ Scaling isn’t just about funding—it’s about stakeholder alignment

✅ Sometimes, spinning out a venture is the most strategic move
