CIO Survey - Industrialized innovation

Newton sits underneath an apple tree. History is spiced with Eureka! moments when human understanding leaps forward. Thomas Edison chose a more deliberate approach: Rather than waiting for lightning to strike, he saw innovation as a replicable, continuous process. His facility in Menlo Park, New Jersey, was the first industrial lab specifically designed to produce a continuous stream of commercially viable technology innovations built on new and emerging technologies.1 Of course, the pace of technology innovation today--and its impact on business--is exponentially faster than in Edison's industrial age.
