The Global Innovation 1000, Booz Allen Hamilton’s annual study of the world’s largest corporate R&D spenders, continues to be the most comprehensive effort to assess the influence of R&D on corporate performance. Booz Allen experts will discuss this year’s findings, including trends in R&D spending across industries and geographies. From their research into the link between innovation strategy and corporate performance, they have identified two key performance differentiators: customer focus and alignment of corporate and innovation strategies. They’ve also determined the three most prevalent innovation strategies and the implications each has on capability building.
 

Panelist:

Barry Jaruzelski, a vice president with Booz Allen Hamilton in New York, is the firm’s lead marketing officer. He concentrates on corporate strategy, organizational transformation, and time-to-market improvement for companies in high-technology industries and manufacturers of highly engineered products.
