I had been looking forward to a nice break up in the mountains of Switzerland, in a place near St.Moritz for … Continue reading “Caught in the Headlights of Disruptive Innovation.”
I came across the recent launch of Capgemini’s Applied Innovation Exchange today, it left me puzzled. Firstly the latest part of their hub network opened up in San Fransisco in mid January, yet I’m wondering why this is the first time I have come across this?.
