The Innovation Salon featuring the one person I would like most to hear on innovation.
Everett M. Rogers, “What I Have Learned in 40 Years of Research on Innovation”.
Everett Rogers discovered the S-curve pattern of innovation adoption and was instrumental in turning study of innovation from a focus on the traits of innovators to an emphasis on case studies. Author of The Diffusion of Innovations, now in its fourth printing, he has developed a data base of more than 1000 innovations, which he has studied in depth.
