Key Moments From Kevin See's Interview

-The impact of AI is being felt in the later stages of the innovation funnel.

- Some large corporations are experimenting with topic modeling and NPL in the front end of the lifecycle, primarily in the drug discovery space; but overall, covid-19 hasn’t really been an accelerant of digital R&D.

-Data science is finding a foothold in the manufacturing sector, supply chain, and in the CPG world where AI is being used to better understand customers and those insights are trickling back into the innovation flow.

- The vast majority of companies are not well-positioned to leverage the amount of data they have.

- The smartest approach is to pinpoint the problem you want AI to solve, and to look for small wins first, "nail it before you scale it."

About James

Dr. Gregory is a leading expert on corporate brand management and developer of breakthrough strategies to measure, value, and manage intangible assets to improve a corporation's financial performance.

Most notable of the tools that Jim has developed is the CoreBrand Index® (CBI), a quantitative research vehicle that continuously tracks the reputations and financial performances of over 800 publicly traded companies in 50 industries. This pioneering work is utilized at the board level to evaluate current and project future potential corporate performance.  Dr. Gregory is a senior fellow at The Conference Board, where he is leading a task force entitled, "Making Intangibles Tangible."

Key Moments From Dr. James Gregory's Interview

• The CoreBrand Index (CBI) is a quantitative, longitudinal research study that started in 1990, designed to be a management tool for CEOs, not to drive market cap.
  
• The CBI considers the perspective of outside, impartial observers (business execs, high volume consumers from outside the industry), in four key areas - overall reputation, perception of management, investment potential, and culture of innovation.
  
• Patents and trademarks are one of the few things that show up periodically on a company's balance sheet or in their annual report, as a subjective measurement.
  
• The events of COVID-19 have increased the value of R&D and the growth of intangible assets as an asset class.
  
• Brand and marketing will never be a part of generally accepted accounting principles; instead, they need to develop very simple systems for understanding their value and reporting it on a consistent basis.
  

This episode will look at the stage-gate process invented by world-renowned researcher and writer, Dr. Robert Cooper, and examine whether it still holds up in today’s climate of innovation and what processes and frameworks will shape the future of innovation.

Cooper is the creator of the world-famous Stage-Gate® process, and was named the “World’s Top Innovation Management Scholar” by the prestigious U.S. Journal of Product Innovation Management and is a Fellow of the Product Development and Management Association (PDMA). He has combined practical consulting with ground-breaking research for many years. Besides his best-selling books “Winning at New Products” and “Portfolio Management for New Products”, he has published more than 130 articles on R&D and innovation management.

Key Moments From Bob Cooper's Interview

• Stage-gate was based on what entrepreneurs or "intrapreneurs" inside companies did in order to take an idea and launch it into a successful new product. 
• With the world changing so quickly, Bob starting borrowing concepts from the software world, namely the agile development methodologies. Ala Agile Stage-gate was born. 
• Get out there and talk to customers. That is the difference between winning and losing.
• With new technologies being implemented and developed it is important that we don't get so mesmerized by this possibility that we starting thinking everything is great. 
• Only 1 out of 4 projects that are approved for development become a commercial success. Portfolio management and a good gaining process will help you there.
