Presentation: “Innovation Pathways: How to Know Where You’re Going When You Don’t Know the Way”
PMI Talent Triangle: Power Skills
Description: Innovation is a journey of exploration: you are breaking new ground, blazing a trail. The resulting uncertainty can be daunting, even debilitating. But many of the most successful innovations have tended to follow identifiable paths. Learning their lessons can provide direction and purpose even when the way forward is unclear.
