Editor's Notes
- 10 Questions – I have come up with 10 questions that will help focus attention on issues regarding innovation.
- About me: Ryan Gorski, software engineer, ISS ODAR - HRCS ICU AVIC SW Architecture and Implementation Team MBA- Where and Why - Why: Was a SW Test engineer, while the work was important, it wasn’t satisfying. Considered MBA vs MS, and my analysis came up with MBA. What: MBA Council of Houston is comprised of local alumni chapters of top-tier MBA schools, dedicated to serving “Houston-based alumni through business networking, providing unique events, promoting organizational best practices, and encouraging community involvement”. MIT Enterprise Forum is “a platform for entrepreneurial networking, inspiration and education”. Panel discussion: “Managing Innovation – How do we Define it, Measure it, and Foster it?” Why: I had recently had a discussion with my Functional Manager about engineers and MBA degrees. Following that discussion, the MBACH promoted this event and I invited my Functional to attend. Due to other responsibilities, they were not able to attend, in turn they asked if I would bring back details to discuss with their team; Innovation happened to be a very critical topic for the team, and my Functional liked the idea of having an open discussion with the goal of educating his team on the topic and drive discussions on how ‘we define, measure and foster’ innovation.
- ROI – Return On Investment
- Money is not the ultimate motivator – recognition is. Money is important and the lack of it can create distrust, however recognition is more important; the building of self-worth/value, the esteem, the reputation among peers. Money is treated as a scorecard by some people, and in that way, those people are getting recognition by having earned/won a lot of money and having their peers know it; Wall St, Sales Professionals, Professional Athletes.
