Harnessing the Power of Serial Innovators October 11, 2012

Event Name/Title: Harnessing the Power of Serial Innovators
Event Description: Raymond L. Price -- College of Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
For past 25 years, research on innovation has taken the perspective that new product development can be managed like any other (complex) process of the firm. Dr. Price will present the recent results of their pioneering study (The Serial Innovator, Stanford Uni. Press), in which they discover “Serial Innovators” within mature corporations are the organizational powerhouses that are able to solve problems and substantially contribute to the financial value to their firms. Creating the distinction between the Serial Innovator, Serial Inventor, and the Serial Entrepreneur, is just the first step. Dr. Price will divulge the Serial Innovator’s nature, motivations, how to nurture their success, and provide real life examples of how they were able to develop novel solutions to consumers' problems.
