A proof of concept (POC) provides just that: evidence that your ideas can come to fruition and work in a practical sense.

CEOs have spoken with passion about “making everyone an innovator” and the need “to disrupt our own business.” But after years of experimentation, senior leaders are asking: Is this still just an experiment, or are we in it for the long haul?
