Strage Innovation Awards
"Winning in business today demands innovation. Innovators build a reputation of being able to solve the most challenging problems. That's why corporations spend billions each year trying to identify opportunities for innovation – unsolved problems or unmet needs, things that don't fit or don't work."
- Rosabeth Moss Kanter
