Seven Triggers To Breakthrough CompaniesJustin Beck
Any Company Can Launch a Startup. Startups think big and move fast. Your company can be any size and still think like a startup. Consistent breakthroughs are not accidents. Just look at Apple and Google. They are a part of the strategy, part of the process and certainly part of the culture of companies that continually achieve them. The Seven Triggers to Breakthrough Companies is your playbook to launch a startup culture inside your company.
Design groups the world over are littered with the remains of design process initiatives gone horribly useless. But, unless you are a one man band — and, let’s face it, few of us are — getting a group of designers, developers, and business owners to get a design out the door can feel like herding cats.
What’s a designer to do? Change our framework. Design process is not a technical problem to be solved (like designing a clock) but an living emergent system (like a cloud) to be exposed, evaluated and iterated.
A 2 day Workshop outline to discover the driving purpose of your company or brand. Facilitated by Invitro Innovation's Angela Koch in Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Thailand and Taiwan.

Gillian Easson for 2nd Russian-British Creative Economy forumbritishcouncilrus
Gillian Easson, Development Manager, NESTA (National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts)
Joining NESTA in 2006, Gillian has managed the initiatives supporting innovative creative entrepreneurs across the UK, including projects: Starter for 6 , Peer Mentoring and Insight Out.
Gillian led the development of NESTA’s successful Creative Enterprise Toolkit.
This step-by-step interactive resource helps creative individuals to plan, build, communicate and launch their new creative business. The toolkit has been used by hundreds of successful creative entrepreneurs around the world, from fashion designers, to freelance artists, to technology start-ups. They have used the resources, activities and case studies to develop their good ideas; and consider their personal motivations and aspirations for enterprise. NESTA also ran train-the-trainer events for tutors from Universities and colleges; and now the toolkit is being used widely in Universities across the UK.
With a background and passion for good design, Gillian believes that design is key to delivering engaging, creative and effective forms of support. Gillian has extensive experience of developing and delivering programmes in the charity and not-for-profit sectors; particularly within the areas of creative enterprise, education and employment.
NESTA is the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts - an independent body with a mission to make the UK more innovative. We invest in early-stage companies, inform policy, and deliver practical programmes that inspire others to solve the big challenges of the future.
We know the creative industries are critical to the UK’s cultural and economic success, contributing more than £50 billion to the economy every year. They also generate important 'spillover' benefits for other sectors that work with them to create innovative products and services. But creative businesses face their own unique barriers to growth and success. NESTA is working to understand why, and to find ways of helping creative businesses unleash their full innovative potential.

18. Akio Moriata
You may not have heard of Morita but you've
undoubtedly heard of his company, Sony. Sony's
first product was a rice cooker that unfortunately
didn't cook rice so much as burn it, selling less
than 100 units. This first setback didn't stop
Morita and his partners as they pushed forward
to create a multi-billion dollar company.
19. Harland David Sanders
Perhaps better known as Colonel Sanders of
Kentucky Fried Chicken fame, Sanders had a
hard time selling his chicken at first. In fact, his
famous secret chicken recipe was rejected 1,009
times before a restaurant accepted it.

A critical success factor for any major
change within an organisation is a deterrent
that will create pressure and prevent people
continuing with the status quo.

The primary responsibility of leaders of
innovation is to create an ecosystem of
innovation.
