E.Factor presents: Innovate to Thrive
Event Recap
EFactor's first event in San Francisco was a great success, with many attendees coming from many different areas to attend Robert Brand's presentation. The spirit of entrepreneurship was alive and well throughout the evening, with members spending time engaged in networking and listening to Robert's Rules of Innovation (for those wanting to know more, see the powerpoint slides).
Here are ten points you want to remember about Innovation:
- Inspire and Initiate
- No Risk... No Innovation
- New Product Development Process
- Ownership
- Value Creation
- Accountability
- Training and Coaching
- Idea Management Process
- Observe and Measure
- Net Result and Reward
Focus on creating a culture of innovation within your company. It starts and ends with you, as the owner or CEO. Take an active role in establishing innovation as a regular part of your company, make it core to whatever you do. Be a guiding force for yourself and your employees and it will help them deliver that innovation and creativity that your customers will come to know you for.
It was great to have new members attend from both the SFEIN Meetup group organized by Linda Parker and from SCORE, whose Gary Geschwind offered us his insight and experience. We look forward to future events in San Francisco with both groups.
