May Luncheon. JP Berrizbeitia: Managing the innovation process in a company (And Annual Meeting)

Juan Pablo Berrizbeitia (Founder and CEO, JP Berriz Consulting; and adjunct faculty at JMU)

Managing the innovation process in a company

Everywhere, including in the Shenandoah Valley, we’ve been using the term “innovation” a lot. We use it because we know we want our companies to be innovative. We understand that innovation translates into competitiveness and that it drives our local and regional economies. We want to promote innovation among our companies. Yet, some companies are more capable of innovation than others. Some companies are able to innovate continuously, others sporadically, and others rarely. Why? What does it take to innovate frequently?

This talk attempts to offer some insights to answer these questions. I will share with you some ideas about how to increase the capabilities of your company to innovate and manage the innovation process successfully.
