How are successful companies applying new models of innovation for creating new businesses, not just new products?
Join Robert C. Wolcott, founder and executive director of the Kellogg Innovation Network, Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University, for a must-see session that will answer this very question at the 2010 Restaurant Executive Summit, this September 29 — October 1 at The Grand Del Mar Resort in San Diego, Calif.
An expert on corporate innovation and entrepreneurship, Wolcott will offer insights into how successful companies are approaching innovation as a new business design challenge, and how companies can build their organizations and infrastructure to support success in the session, "A New Design Model for Business Innovation."
