Chairperson's Welcome
A Welcome Message from Chairperson, Mike Hatrick
FEI Chair, Mike Hatrick- also Group Director IP Strategy & Portfolio at Volvo Group Trucks Technology, Volvo shares his introduction to, and his rich experience with FEI: Front End of Innovation. He takes you through not only what's shared-but particularly to what he's looking forward.
Hatrick reviews how the FEI program directly led to building and shifts in strategy and how that can occur at your organization as well. The open environment of Front End of Innovation is also discussed along with what to expect from FEI Keynotes, the overall value of being present and just why the event is such a unique opportunity to engage.
Throughout the past two-and-a-half years, the approach to innovation has evolved. While common themes have emerged, different organizations have chosen distinct paths. Front End of Innovation returns October 19-21 in Boston, MA to celebrate lessons learned together in person.
