This PARC Forum talk is part of a special series with 10 speakers on 10 aspects of innovation... because we're celebrating the "Power of 10" years of practicing open innovation (since being incorporated as an independent subsidiary in 2002)! View other talks in this series here. If you're not already a member of the PARC Forum invited expert series mailing list, you can sign up for advance announcements via email or feeds here.
The speakers in PARC’s Power of 10 series have offered diverse and intriguing insights about innovation. PARC CEO Stephen Hoover will wrap up the series with PARC’s perspective on mastering the practice of innovation. He’ll describe some lessons learned over the past 10 years at PARC about the process of innovation—how you can actually innovate how you innovate.
