I always have a little black notebook on myself, so I can note down my observations, thoughts, questions, and action items.

Every so often I'd go through them, to see if any new patterns or curiosities arise. And let me tell you, over the last decade I've filled a fair number of notebooks!

In this special webinar I'll share with you 20 common misconceptions about corporate innovation, and what you can do about them.

All of them are based on my ten years of experience in different industries—including defence, manufacturing, education, entertainment, and financial services.
