Innovation Management
I attended to a conference at the Montreal Software Process Improvement Network this morning. The topic was Innovation Mangement by Anders Hemre. Not only the topic was very interesting, the speaker was excellent. If ever you get the chance to hear him, don’t miss the chance. As a student, I didn’t really expect the topic to be applicable on short term in any way. I just enjoy the SPIN meetings because it’s a great opportunity to see how the senior managers are actually thinking. It’s quite impressive to see how a few numbers and reformulation of ideas can lead to more support from these people. The entire presentation kept triggering new ideas. The bad part is that I probably missed 30% of the presentation because I was evading in my own thoughts (thankfully, I have the handouts).
Sadly for Anders, the group of attendees was very small today. On the other hand, it allowed everyone to communicate and hear everyone’s point of view.
