Profiles in Innovation

“Through the voices and experiences of 39 fascinating guides from a breadth of organizations and industries, Dee McCrorey has masterfully woven a compelling vision of how companies, leaders, and career professionals can reinvigorate, reframe, and reposition themselves in this rapidly-changing new world of business. 

A nugget of wisdom from Dr. Patty Lopez (Chapter 8) pretty much captures the gift Dee has given us: “Innovation is the talent of taking ideas from disparate fields and integrating them into a unique solution that advances the state of the art.” Thank you, Dee, for writing a sorely-needed playbook to help us embrace these new innovation opportunities.”
