The CEO's Perspective on Innovation:
How Creativity Fosters Growth
 Fostering innovation has always been a challenging leadership function. And for today’s executive, it’s harder than ever. Economic
pressure has squeezed development budgets and heavy competition requires the ability to
reinvent products and repurpose services in an instant.
In this issue of the GIL eBulletin, we investigate the success factors that are driving the most cutting-edge firms today. From revising corporate cultures to encouraging
empowerment
practices, you’ll see what it takes to spur innovation.
Creative leaders know the secrets to turning innovation into a proactive, continuous business process … and now, so will you!
Sincerely,
David
Frigstad
Chairman
