ACE has partnered with the Portland Regional Chamber for a 3-part series called:
Innovation Conversations: Strategies & Success Stories to Inspire.
What must innovating today become to lead to long-term success in an increasingly constrained world?
Bernard Hidier (of Karrgreen France, Ostrea Capital, and Finsulate) will draw on his own experience to illustrate that the concept of innovation is much broader than the commonly accepted interpretation. Innovation is within reach for all of us, and as we start to understand that the “in” is the key that unlocks the “novation,” we will see guaranteed audience adoption and ultimately long-term success.
Participants will walk away with a renewed sense of what innovating in their business could mean, and how refocusing on who they are and what their current setup means to them and their customers becomes the key to their next successful step.
