"The First Mile:  

Launching Great Ideas Into the Market"

Scott Anthony of Innosight to Present

 

One of the featured presentations during the April 29-30 "Meet the Innovators Forum" in San Francisco will be given by Scott Anthony, Managing Partner of Innosight.  His new book, "The FIRST MILE," is expected to be published during the week of the Edison Awards events.

 

That first mile-where an innovation moves from an idea on paper to the market-is often plagued by failure. Less than one percent of ideas launched by big companies end up having real impact.The ideas aren't the problem. It's the process. In his presentation, Scott will show how you can build the knowledge and confidence to travel this perilous-but ultimately promising-terrain. Participants will learn:

 

* A new tool for evaluating your idea's strengths and weaknesses,

* Why "spinouts," "wrong turns," and other challenges commonly trip up innovation -- and the practical strategies you can use to avoid them, and 

* Why innovators need to embrace chaos in an age of constant change-and other essential leadership skills.

 

"World's #3 Top Business Mind"  
to Speak at Edison Awards



The Meet the Innovator's program will feature a presentation by Vijay Govindarajan, known as "VG", who is the Coxe Distinguished Professor at the Tuck School at Dartmouth. VG is an expert on strategy and innovation. He was the first Professor in Residence and Chief Innovation Consultant at General Electric and is the author of New York Times and Wall Street Journal Best Seller, Reverse Innovation.
