Fusion92 invites you to attend the next Future Series, a gathering of thought leaders, trendsetters and disrupters diving into the future of technology, our industry and our world.

For this next event, we are pleased to announce our guest speaker, David Kord Murray. Dave, a best-selling author, published his first book called Borrowing Brilliance: The Six Steps to Business Innovation by Building on the Ideas of Others. It's been a Wall Street Journal best seller and named by Inc. Magazine as one of the Best Business Books. Businessweek called Dave's innovation process "one that actually seems to work." We've adopted much of Dave's principles in our innovation methodology here at Fusion92.

Dave began his career as an aerospace engineer. He worked on the Space Shuttle and the conceptual development team of the International Space Station. Over the years, he's been a scientist, chief marketing officer, entrepreneur, CEO, product development specialist, software programmer and line manager for both small and large organizations. He was the Head of Innovation at Intuit. And he started his own online tax preparation company that he sold to H&R Block a few years later. He's started and sold multiple companies throughout his career – all founded on the same concept: innovation.

Please join us on August 15 at 4:00pm at the Fusion92 office, as we immerse ourselves in our roots of innovation.

Last month, Fusion92 invited noted author and entrepreneur David Kord Murray to our Chicago office for a Future Series keynote on innovation. Clients, partners and employees gathered around to hear how David’s experiences as an aerospace engineer, software developer and CEO had shaped his perspective on building tomorrow’s tech by creatively leveraging preexisting ideas.For those who weren’t able to attend, here’s what you missed.We've adopted many of Dave's principles in our innovation methodology here at Fusion92, and it’s not hard to see why. “BorrowingBrilliance,” inspired by his Wall Street Journal best seller of the same name, was a talk centered on six key steps to business innovation.Dave covered those steps – defining, borrowing, combining, incubating, judging and enhancing – in great detail, blending his own experiences with stories about figures like Isaac Newton and Coco Chanel along the way. As an audience, we learned the value of proliferation, how to navigate time boundaries, how to analyze a problem, and so much more. While innovation will forever remain a demanding, persistent pursuit, we’re grateful to Dave for sharing his tips and tricks of the trade, and we think you will too.
