Innovation: Why It Is Critical to the West Michigan Economy
Location: Steelcase University (map).
Networking Time: 5:45 p.m. - 6:30 p.m.
Presentation: 6:30 p.m.
The businesses of West Michigan are starting to experience the full effect of
globalization. Many of the competitive strengths of West Michigan have been
minimized as a result of "flatteners". Our government bodies, educational
institutions, our communities and the businesses of West Michigan need to re
think their respective areas of focus to embrace and institutionalize the
concept of Innovation. The time of "that is the way it has always been done" is
over.
Richard Robbins lead this interactive session on Innovation, that will include:
-
Defining Innovation and its key components
-
Provide examples on how organizations can foster and promote Innovation
-
Show how enterprises can help fund Innovation efforts
Richard Robbins is a Development Executive at IBM dedicated to helping
businesses of West Michigan and the Mid-West identify their core areas of
Innovation and how to leverage their existing infrastructure to help fund and
support their efforts.
This will be the next learning event in the glimaWest series on Use of the
Internet for Relationship Management.
