SEPTEMBER 19, 2018 Innovation and Entrepreneurship (9:00 am–1:15 pm)

Entrepreneurship is the glue that binds the two (innovation and strategy) together to produce potential exponential growth and dominant market position. Content includes: identifying the danger of intermittent innovation; creating an innovation ‘flywheel’ within organizations; determining the entrepreneurial character of an organization – and then increasing it.
