Navigating Scale: The FOAK Playbook with Next Rung Technology

This is the 8th installment in the Navigating Scale series, focusing on the holistic playbook for scaling First-of-a-Kind (FOAK) technologies, both for emerging companies and mature businesses alike. Scaling emerging technologies brings as many organizational and operational challenges as technical ones, so treating this as a purely technical endeavor means only accounting for one-third of the picture. The session will highlight key considerations for scaling FOAK technologies across a company's lifecycle and technology commercialization journey, with a core focus on project development and delivery. This session will be presented by John Ellersick, President of Next Rung Technology, an engineering services and consulting firm focused on the acceleration of sustainable process technologies. John and the rest of the Next Rung team will provide real-world insights into successfully developing FOAK plants of all sizes. You are invited to fuel up for the day, and learn from their data-driven findings about early best practices that correlate to successful project outcomes. Attendees are welcome to share their own best practices, lessons learned and contribute (confidentially) to Next Rung's ever-growing data set that has been used to shape commercialization and scaleup strategies across a multitude of industries.
