Innovating Within Constraints: Empowering Engineering Teams to Move Fast Without Breaking Things

In today’s competitive and fast-moving tech landscape, continuous innovation is no longer optional—but the reality is that few engineering leaders have the luxury of unlimited resources, greenfield systems, or infinite risk tolerance. This roundtable will explore how CTOs and senior technology leaders can cultivate a culture of rapid, sustainable innovation while operating within real-world constraints: tight budgets, legacy systems, and the need for operational stability. We’ll discuss how to embed innovation into daily engineering practice without disrupting business-critical systems or burning out your team. Help us answer questions like: How have you successfully fostered innovation in environments constrained by legacy technology or limited resources? What practical methods have you used to encourage experimentation and learning without jeopardizing system stability? How do you prioritize innovation work alongside critical roadmap and operational demands? What role does architecture play in enabling innovation around or on top of legacy systems? How do you keep engineering teams motivated and creatively engaged when innovation must coexist with technical debt or tight delivery cycles? How do you identify and support grassroots innovation from within your teams?
