Creating Innovation-Driven Growth Seminar

 

About Innosight Consulting:

 

Understanding and managing innovation is critical to achieving competitive advantage. Managers need to know what disruptive threats and opportunities exist, and must be able to anticipate future changes. Demystifying innovation enables companies to capture and create new waves of corporate growth.

 

Innosight helps companies improve their ability to generate new growth through innovation. Consulting and executive training services of Innosight facilitate the discovery of new, high-growth markets and the creation of breakthrough products and services. Innosight approach is the result of in-depth work with companies such as Motorola, Aetna, Microsoft, Unilever, and the government of Singapore - all of which have applied Innosight thinking to manage various aspects of innovation.

 

Fueling innovation insights from Innosight are the ideas of their Founder, Harvard Business School Professor Clayton Christensen, whose books on innovation have sold over one million copies. Christensen’s first book, The Innovator's Dilemma, caused leaders to address the urgency of disruptive change. Christensen's latest works, The Innovator's Solution and Seeing What's Next, help guide Innosight's thinking on how to make successful innovation predictable and how to forecast industry winners and losers.
