Innovation, Innovation, Innovation. (wave the jazz hands as you say these words out loud). The buzz word has taken hold. However, Management Guru, Peter Drucker, leveraged the concept that all organisations need to Innovate and Market in his book “The Practice of Management” in 1954!!! In this strategic presentation on Innovation implementation we will cover the proven methodologies and best practices (although they are seldom correctly applied) to lead and participate in innovation efforts for your organisation to gain or maintain sustainable offerings.
