giving Birth
to Innovation:
The Brainchild of
Out-of-the-Box Thinking
By Cynthia B. Hanson
Innovation.
The process has radically
changed the plight of mankind, altered history, eliminated diseases, created the A-Bomb,
built pyramids, increased food production, inspired music, blasted rockets into the sky. Glass,

learning-and we need to bring partners together in the
same spirit. 'Build it and they will come' is a horrible
framework now! Things work way too fast today."
We need to pay attention to the speed, scale, and scope
of partnering today, he continues. "A company needs to
keep the positive energy [flowing] to drive breakthrough
