Unveiling the New – Fundamentally, the change that is occurring in front of our eyes has a lot to do with the core way of how businesses create and capture value. The very foundational principles that many existing companies have been built and grew on are being challenged every day. As we move from defined products to co-creation of value, any new ideas will be accepted, rejected or ignored because of how they’re understood. Preparing markets for innovation requires unusual creativity to achieve clarity around the problem or the proposition.

He will explore bringing the complex, unfamiliar and still-emerging innovations to life with artifacts, prototypes and demonstrations, taking customers on a journey of co-creating their future with our organizations.
