The Pittsburgh Technology Council in partnership with the Pennsylvania NanoMaterials Center presents:
Managing Innovation - Boundary Spanners
On Thursday, March 13, learn how to successfully manage innovation by understanding and developing your boundary spanners – individuals who spot emerging technologies from outside of the organization and understand how these technologies are relevant to the organization’s innovation process. With the expertise of Dr. Lynda Aiman-Smith, Associate Professor, the Center for Innovation Management Studies (CIMS) located at NC State University, we will explore: - Specific processes, tools and techniques that Boundary Spanners employ
- How information about new markets/products is disseminated throughout a firm, industry and eventually the economy
- Principles of S curves, social networks and communities of interest
