Front End of Innovation Conference

I'm out in Boston at the Front End of Innovation Conference.  It's the 4th year and the conference just keeps growing.  There are around 650-700 people in attendance and, as you can see on the conference site, great speakers. What I like most about the conference is the diversity of professions represented.  Since it is not run by any one discipline, it draws people from R&D, design, marketing, senior management, and increasingly, innovation groups.  Day 1 was excellent and I'll be reporting on some of the presentations in subsequent posts. So far, the biggest themes are Design Thinking, Collaboration, and Blue Oceans...
