 In a 2012 HBS Working Knowledge interview, Harvard Business School Professor Clayton Christensen explained how his firm’s research led to the identification of five primary discovery skills that underlie innovation: associating, observing, questioning, networking, and experimenting.  While many healthcare companies are striving to emulate academia’s research on innovation, very few have cracked the code on transforming their cultures to truly embrace innovation without fear.  Please join us on June 11, 2013 for an engaging panel discussion with an open Q&A forum to learn and debate with your peers.
