"The Future of Space Innovation"
Lunch Speaker: Drew Crouch,
VP Strategic Development, Ball Aerospace
- Thirty-five years after Apollo,
space is still inaccessible to civilians, and humans are
stuck in low Earth orbit. Can space regain its place as
an innovation catalyst? Will it once again provide purpose
for those who choose to explore? Events to play out in the
coming decade will demonstrate whether we can expect a rebirth
of this manifestation of the questing human spirit.

Translating Discoveries into Innovations
- Significant discoveries occur in labs everyday.
Successful applied research translates discoveries into
generalize-able innovations that others can apply. Understanding
fundamental issues that impede routine application allows
for the most rapid product-development cycle through innovation.

The Wildcard in Innovation by Acquisition -
Executing an acquisition can be difficult, but maintaining
the intellectual property and fostering its growth is the
key. Indeed, the “People” component in this
equation represents the largest “wildcard” of

"Virtual Company"
A Marriage of Human, Technological, and Financial
Capital - Corporate success always
depends abilities insightfully identify and adapt to change.
To best leverage internal resources, external resources
can be handled through outsourcing. Indeed, businesses will
become more and more virtual, supported more by outsourced
operations than by internal infrastructure. |

the DaVinci Institute
"Top 10 Trends in Innovation"
10 Factors Most Affecting Innovation in the US
- The research team at the DaVinci Institute
has spent the past few months reviewing hundreds of factors
influencing innovations in the US. The
effects of globalization are clearly evident as R&D money
begins to shift to China and India. And the baby boom demographic
is also creating havoc both in the areas of retiring scientists
and engineers and our country's ability to backfill these
vacancies with competent new hires. |

Fingerprinting"

Brain Fingerprinting Laboratories
A
Solution to a Timeless Problem - Brain Fingerprinting
is a new scientific method for detecting whether specific
information is stored in a person’s brain. Though
an extensive R&D process developed the system, full
innovation would require proofs. More than just proof of
process, these needed to be proofs of confidence.

"On-Time Innovation"
Innovate or Fail: Recipe for Success - Innovating
on time takes a recipe with key ingredients. Vision begins
with an idea powerful enough to attract support. Add talent,
synergistic leadership, and creativity. Account for the
environment… to be understood and leveraged. Recognize
performance to enable the next project. |

Innovation"
Lunch Speaker:
Bill French, Co-founder, MyST Technologies
Innovators suffer two quandaries:
Finding and managing information. At the heart of innovations
lay fundamental issue of managing knowledge and increasing
the capacity to act wisely. The Internet must be leveraged
for awareness, insight, and velocity, yet with a careful eye
on security and a permissions model. |

"Innovation and Intellectual Property"
Another Dimension of Innovation Reward and
Risk -
Intellectual Property is critical to those
relying on innovation to drive revenue, yet protecting innovative
IP can be expensive. A cross functional team can apply rigorous
patent screening. Having a patent granted does not guarantee
freedom from infringement claims. Determining infringement
risk is a separate issue.

Photon Cryptography - Large
companies can no longer rely exclusively on in-house R &
D. Outside inventor/innovator become resources for new ideas

difficult to provide innovation to commercial companies.
A start-up company bridges the gap. |
