Abstract: The key drivers of innovation have changed in recent years. Much of the common wisdom about innovation no longer applies. Companies that want to stay ahead of the competition need to understand the new rules of innovation. In this presentation, we will cover the top ten transformations in the innovation process and what they mean for entrepreneurs, investors, and corporations.
