About the Topic

Why is it that brilliant technology innovations sometimes fail to make it from their discovery or creation to the marketplace? Are there key factors and mistakes that can impede progress and destroy prospects for success? Is it possible for tech executives and consultants to identify the principal obstacles to avoid and greatly increase the chances of success as a result? Join us for a discussion of the “landmines” that technology executives and their companies need to recognize and avoid to increase the chances for success.
