Future of Business with Game Changers, Presented by SAP

The buzz: “Collaborations work best this way; when there's a mutual desire to see what the other side adds. You know that what you're making on your own has value but the sum is more than the parts and every part knows it” (Questlove). 17th century English poet John Donne wrote: “No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.” Donne’s wisdom applies to people, countries, and your company. Collaborating with other businesses can help deliver unique innovations, define new markets, differentiate from the pack, bring new products to market. The experts speak. Marc Haberland, Clariba: “No pressure, no diamonds” (Thomas Carlyle). Camilla Dahlen, SAP: “Travel sparks our imagination, feeds our curiosity, and reminds us how much we all have in common” (Deborah Lloyd). Surendra Reddy, Quantiply: “Creativity is thinking up new things. Innovation is doing new things” (Theodore Levitt). Join us for Future of Business: Collaborative Innovation.
