Has innovation plateaued in your organization?

A recent article in Fast Company stated: "Companies that succeed at innovation - Apple, Google, and GE, for example, have their own innovation DNA that exists independent of innovation managers."

In 2012, you must go beyond simply creating an innovation team, to truly creating a culture that breeds and rewards innovative thinking.

Hear from Google's Country Manager at The Front End of Innovation EMEA in Zurich to find out how they stimulate internal innovation.
