Lecture Description
Innovation is now the primary driver of growth, prosperity, and quality of life. Fortunately, we live in a world of abundance - not scarcity. There have never been more opportunities. But it is a world where individuals, their teams, and their enterprises need the right innovation skills to first identify and then develop these opportunities - fast. Few do.
Globalization and technological developments will only expedite this downward spiral. We are witnessing a profound shift as many markets and business activities become knowledge based.
Today, innovation is the primary means for growth, prosperity, and improved quality of life. It's a time of tremendous opportunity for innovation and entrepreneurship with many opportunities available in all major market segments. If you ignore these opportunities and take a reactive vs.
proactive approach to the market, your company will eventually go out of business.
SRI international is in the business of innovation. With over 2,000 of the world's most accomplished researchers and technologists, SRI is in a unique position to inspire world-changing innovation nearly every day. In fact, in the last decade alone, SRI clients have sponsored more than two billion dollars in R&D in every scientific and technology endeavor imaginable from robotics and artificial intelligence to drug discovery and alternative energy solutions.
SRI has created a unique roadmap for others to put knowledge in to action for themselves and their businesses.
This lively and informative speech will focus on the importance of innovation to the success of every business, and will offer practical knowledge to stimulate innovation within your own team or organization.
