Date: Wednesday, April 23
Time: 5:45 - 5:55PM
Location: Ballroom - 3rd Level

Presented by Scott Berkun (Berkun Consulting). Hype and tall tales dominate our knowledge of innovation history, and without awareness of the truth, we are set up to fail as innovators. This fun, fast paced, opinion provoking keynote, based on the recent bestselling book The Myths of Innovation (O'Reilly 2007), will dissect the deepest mythologies in tech invention to reveal truths everyone can use in their own work.

Comments

Scotts book "...myth of innovation..." definetely is great reading stuff!

 

I'll have to check out your book. Thanks for a little energy towards the end of a long day.

 

Will take a look at the book.

 

Great! Inspirational! I loved his reminder that innovation is about solving problems.

 

The software management book is also very good. Scott had a lot to say, and spoke very quickly. Those who are not native speakers of English might have had a hard time following him.

 

I attended Scotts 3h workshop session on Tuesday and thought he'd repeat mostly what I had heard already. But he still managed to excite me. A great speaker.
