WSJ: Innovation becomes faster, cheaper

Did you see the article, “ The New, Faster Face of Innovation,” in the Aug. 17 edition of The Wall Street Journal? Co-written by Michael Schrage of MIT, it included this statement:

“Innovation initiatives that used to take months and megabucks to coordinate and launch can often be started in seconds for cents. Technology is transforming innovation at its core, allowing companies to test new ideas at speeds - and prices - that were unimaginable even a decade ago.”

Schrage, a researcher and expert on the economics of innovation, is among the best-selling authors and world-renowned authorities in statistics, visual analytics and innovation who will have leading roles at this year’s Innovators’ Summit, Sept. 18 and 19 at the Swissôtel Chicago.

The summit, sponsored by SAS, is guaranteed to inspire breakthrough thinking by placing you and fellow decision-makers from a variety of industries in an intimate, creative setting where analytics take center stage.

Rub shoulders and exchange ideas with these and other outstanding thought leaders in innovation:

  • Malcolm Gladwell, author of Outliers, The Tipping Point and Blink.
  • Sig Mejdal, Major League Baseball analyst for the St. Louis Cardinals.
  • Stephen Baker, author of The Numerati and BusinessWeek writer.
  • Joel Best, author of Damned Lies and Statistics and Stat-Spotting.
  • Daniel Arneman, expert on green analytics from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
