Corporate Innovation Needs Innovation
Big companies do many things better than their smaller peers, but corporate innovation sure doesn’t seem to be one of them.
In case recent disruptions haven’t made that clear, consider what happened when Target tried to develop its “store of the future.” After assembling a team to prototype a small, showroom-style store that would have had robots grabbing items behind the scenes for customers, the bullseye brand unexpectedly shut down the projectless than a year from its launch date. A marketplace project called Goldfish, where retailers other than Target might one day have listed products for sale, was axed at the same time.

How to Manage Disruptive Innovation
Disruptive innovation has toppled several of the market's largest companies. But IBM's John Cohn explains how leaders can balance incremental and longer-term innovation to keep from becoming disrupted.

“In the span of about a decade, the Chinese economy has made dramatic progress in innovation relative to the United States,” Robert Atkinson, ITIF president and lead author of the report said in a statement. “Backed up by a powerful, unfair arsenal of state policies, China has evolved from an innovation-copier to a reverse innovator and now an innovator in its own right.”
Public sector innovation: why it’s so difficult, why it’s so important
As an enthusiast and occasional spruiker for public sector innovation, I am delighted to have this opportunity to present a keynote speech at the 2019 Public Sector Innovation Show.
