Innovation at the Enterprise-Level: The Role of the Chief Innovation Officer - Andrew Kerr will discuss how disruptive innovation often happens at the grassroots level with small start-ups garnering most of the headlines. However, within the knowledge economy many larger, more established organizations are awakening to the crucial importance of innovating to retain their superior market share. To remain competitive, many enterprise organizations have responded by designating c-level executives to lead this important strategic focus. What exactly is the role of the "Chief Innovation Officer" within the enterprise environment and how can they succeed within established organizations that historically do not foster innovation well?
