Synopsis:

CMIT members are invited to McIntire's annual Spring Symposium titled "Leading in a Connected World". The program will feature McIntire professor Rob Cross and a panel of experts. See a complete program description here.

Following the Symposium, CMIT will host its own program, "The Economics of Innovation in a Connected World: Managing to Improve Net Value," featuring Michael Schrage. 

As global competition increases and customers grow more demanding, the pressure to productively innovate and differentiate intensifies. Organizations need to rethink how they invest in and manage innovation. The rise of digital media and the connected world fundamentally transform the economics of innovation for both individuals and enterprises. Drawing upon examples ranging from Apple to Tesco to Procter & Gamble, the role digital models, prototypes and simulations can - and should - play in 'innovation risk management' will be the focus of sessions' talk and workshop.

Agenda:
