Community Forum – How has innovation changed at your organization?

A: How has innovation changed at your organization?

In 2011, IRI launched the IRI2038 Futures Study to focus on one specific question: How might future trends, developments, and events impact the art and science of research and technology management over the next 25 years? This project examined hundreds of trends, weak signals, and implications to develop four future scenarios and a ‘Top Ten’ of potential future trends and themes. What scenarios are still on track? What did the project get wrong? And what does this mean for the future of innovation?

Check out the scenario infographics below and read the original IRI 2038 Future Study Report.

The results from this week’s survey are below.
