“The story of innovation has not changed. It has always been a small team of people who have a new idea, typically not understood by people around them and their executives.” - Eric Schmidt, Chairman, Google.

Some of the most frequent questions from CEOs and leaders of other companies are: How does Google innovate? Can innovation be taught? Can it be planned? Can it be sustained? Ultimately, we think that company culture and innovation cannot be separated. We also believe in order to stay competitive, we, and every other company in the world, absolutely have to innovate. Sustained success starts with you ... and with innovation!  Can you create a culture of innovation? The answer is yes.
