Dear Innovation Colleague:
Summit ’08 is rapidly approaching and
we are looking forward
to another great event! Topping last year’s Summit
will be tough,
but we set a goal to do just that and the early event registration
and customer feedback tell us we are well on our way.
This year we’ve seen companies ‘push the envelope’ in
a variety
of creative ways to achieve business results from their innovation
efforts. These top performing companies have not looked to
adopt
the latest trends and fads for fast results. Rather,
they looked internally
for answers. As one executive put it “...our innovation
system
is our most important competitive advantage. We are dedicated
to
preserving what works and motivated to fix what doesn’t.
This
means fully understanding our strengths and weaknesses…”.
For top performing companies
like Ansell Healthcare, BEHR Process Corporation, D. Swarovski & Company,
Donaldson
Company, InterMetro (an Emerson Electric Company), Owens
Corning, Parker Hannifin Corporation and Timex Corporation,
internal self-assessments have led to powerful improvements
to
their innovation programs and in turn, their performance.
We have
hand-selected eight innovation leaders from these companies
to
share their inspiring stories and practical advice. We guarantee
you will get tremendous value by listening to their experiences.
Please
join us for a powerful exchange of cutting-edge ideas
and free-flowing discussion with industry’s best and
brightest
innovation leaders. At Summit ’08, we will share real
case studies
on topics you told us were critical to you:
