In our third episode, we had the pleasure to host Romi Davidor, Director of CatalystIL, a  professional community for innovation managers in the public and private sector, managed under the Israeli Innovation Institute.

Romi joined the Israel Innovation Institute in 2018 with a clear vision of creating a professional, first of its kind community in the field of innovation management in Israel. Soon after she became one of the co-founders of CatalystIL, today an ecosystem of over 1,900 community members, 250 innovation managers and over a 90 professionals. 

What are the components involved in leading a first of its kind ecosystem of innovation professionals? What useful habits can ecosystem managers adopt to sustain member engagement and promote a culture of innovation within? What does it take to create a concise value proposition- while navigating between multiple stakeholders? And how does understanding members' needs- sometimes mean wearing the "psychologist" hat?

Answers to these questions and more - in our latest interview with Romi.
