Intentional Insight - McKesson's Process for Innovation


Yesterday afternoon at the PDMA Pittsburgh Innovation Forum, Speaker Jeff Thompson, Director of Innovation Programs at McKesson Automation, provided an overview of the company's innovation process: Intentional Insight. It was a great opportunity to 'look under the hood' and learn how a Fortune 14 company approaches innovation. 

Many thanks to everyone who joined us yesterday for the event - now that you've had a chance to process the presentation, we'd love to hear your key takeaways.

Here are some of ours: 

The mission statement: “Create a sustainable stream of significant growth opportunities for leadership consideration”  

At McKesson it’s about market-driven innovation: "strive to learn more about customers than they know about themselves" 

People matter when doing innovation.  It’s important to have individuals on your team who can handle ambiguity and the right set of partners that will work “shoulder to shoulder” with you on your innovation journey.

We'd love to hear from you!
