Summary: FORECASTING INNOVATION: Every day, individuals take action based on how they believe innovation will change industries. Yet these beliefs are largely based on guesswork and incomplete data and lead to costly errors in judgment. In a follow up to our last episode on innovation, Maxwell Wessel, a Senior Fellow with Harvard Business School’s Forum for Growth and Innovation, shares with us a practical three-part model to help decision-makers spot the signals of industry change, determine the likely outcome of competitive battles, and assess whether a firm's actions will ensure or threaten future success.
