david kord murray:
borrowing brilliance
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.
