The 3 surprising secrets that drive innovation in the digital era

What if creating innovative breakthroughs and developing a much-heralded innovation culture isn’t about creating tiger teams or unleashing unbridled, free-wheeling creativity into every corner of the organization? What if driving innovation in the digital era came down to three simple actions?

That initial value then created a virtuous cycle, that opened the door to even greater innovation opportunities.

Busick explained: “Being able to drive real business benefit gives me the right to be heard and the opportunity to do something like introduce a dedicated space for virtual reality…and that capability, what we call the M-Lab, enables us to build a fully interactive model of a project before its built…And that will flip the entire supply chain. ”
