Pierre d‘Huy, innovation professor and consultant, explains his perceptions of innovation.
Innovation is a human talent, the most precious talent of the mankind. Innovation implies deeply believe in progress. Always ask why and why not ? Stay hungry and curious. Be excited by novelty. Love the rush of adrenaline for the risk of trying something new. And above all Innovation is how to use the gift given by human amazing brain : imagination.
The management of innovation is not a simple natural skill, it requires a proper training. I think that Innovation will become a new discipline widely taught in high schools, like Marketing appearing in the programs in the sixties. In the future innovation will more professional.
Russia is a very promising country for business.
I’m a firm believer of what Mikhail Gorbachev used to call the “Common European Home”. Europe including Russia will have a great role to play in future business for the new developed countries. As a client and as a provider. More specifically, for having experienced it, I know that Frenchs and Russians work very well together.
