Past Event - June 2002
Hunting
for Hunting Grounds
In our first event our guest speaker was Dr. Christopher Miller.
Dr. Miller is the founder of Innovation Focus and is known as a high energy speaker for the cause of innovation and product and business development.
The knowledge and processes of New Product Planners can be used to fundamentally alter the direction of a company. Hunting for Hunting Grounds is the aggressive use of a cluster of new product development processes put together in a way that drives an organization to examine the possibility of radical change through their new product portfolio.
Sometimes we fail in business precisely because we are doing all of the right things. These right things can add up to such an overwhelming burden that there is no energy left for experimentation in the post-reengineered business. A drive toward efficiency rarely adds up to organizational tolerance for error. And hunting on the edge, radical thinking can easily be avoided.
