Now, in Part Two, we go deeper—inside Adobe’s strategic engine—to learn how this global innovator designs its own future. 

Malte shares: 

  • How Adobe has reorganized around three audience groups—business professionals and consumers, creative professionals, and marketing professionals—to better align innovation with customer needs 
  • How his team leads corporate strategy and incubation, balancing “looking around the corner” with accelerating high-priority initiatives 
  • How the Adobe Incubator fosters entrepreneurship within the company, empowering small internal teams to build the next generation of product – and the early outcomes of that work, from Firefly Boards to Project Pulsar and beyond
