Are innovators born or are they created? A debate on the issue by focusing on possible paths and tools for developing innovative initiatives.

An event by the Innovation Topic Group of the BAA-Bocconi Alumni Association: "The Devil and Holy Water. Two approaches, one objective: to innovate"

Participation is free but registration is mandatory.

Are innovators born or are they created?

There are people who are not happy seeking new paths and people who aim to introduce innovative solutions in increasingly complex markets. There are people who follow their instincts and people who apply themselves methodically. In any case, anyone who is not innovative is lost.

In a continuously and quickly changing world, there is an increasing number of situations and opportunities that incite the consideration of a feeling innate to human beings: seeking and creating solutions to satisfy the needs of humans, even hidden needs.

This meeting aims to provoke a debate on the issue by focusing on possible paths, tips and tricks, tools, places and references for developing innovative initiatives.
 
Two profiles of innovators will discuss their experiences.

Speakers:

Marco Magnocavallo  (the Devil...perhaps!) - Serial Innovator and today Angel Investor and Founder @Wikli
Carlo Soresina (the Holy Water... perhaps!) - International Manager and today Founder @Skipso
