Niche-o-nomics for Technology
More and more these days it seems that the raw material for technology firms is less and less the silicon chip (oh so 1990). Instead, the startup has replaced those tiny wafers in the 21st Century.

I submit that it is! Please hear me out. When I say Ralph Lauren, Nine Inch Nails, Vineyard Vines, GAP – or even Apple – you get a sense of a very homogeneous type of person. You get a picture of exactly who I mean and the “lifestyle†that brand portrays. When I say Ralph Lauren, [...]Upcoming community effectiveness study

Title: Creating Killer Innovations
Description:
Innovation is a key catalyst for economic recovery, yet some find it elusive. As Vice President and Chief Technology Officer for HP’s Personal Systems Group, Phil McKinney sees daily examples of the breadth of human ingenuity to solve social, economic, political and even technical challenges. McKinney is passionate about tapping that human ingenuity to deliver great results and is regularly sought out to guide teams to unleash their own creative potential. In this presentation, McKinney will share the “how” of unleashing your own personal creativity. One example that he will share is the turning points in his own R&D team’s journey to identify and create a whole new way for computers to interact with the world’s population -- ways that involve natural human expression with nary a keyboard or mouse in sight. Attendees leaving his presentation will discover a renewed level of confidence in their own ability to create the next killer innovation while organizations will have the confidence that they can compete and win in the emerging creative economy.
