Do you ever wonder how the really BIG ideas happen? From DaVinci and Einstein to Edison and Henry Ford: all made monumental advances through revolutionary thinking. Whether you're a scientist, intrepreneur, entrepreneur or corporate strategist, real success and real impact will come from your organization's ability to deliver quantum leap-style thinking that promotes advances in technological innovation and products that boost bottom line results. But how do you do this? How can you become a REVOLUTIONARY thinker?

 

"The Power of Revolutionary Thinking” will feature a panel of visionary researchers who will explore how organizations, both large and small, can use revolutionary thinking to enhance the innovation process, and show us how advanced concepts go from far-off vision to becoming part of our everyday lives.

 

Topics of discussion will include:

How ultra-light golf clubs, advanced prosthetics and new wonder drugs are inspired by exotic technologies such as ultra-strong carbon nanotubes, electroactive polymers, and so-called ‘extreme environment' microorganisms; How cutting-edge laboratory technology gets commercialized and what you can learn about developing innovations that drive revenue in your company; How revolutionary thinking is fostered and can be driven into your organization.
