What is clear the interpretation of Innovation is singular in various discourse i have noted and hence we don't seem to see traditional industries offering insights or indeed solutions ie: Music, Steel, Energy and Banking (I don't consider Pesalink an innovation) just to name a few. Disruptive innovation encompasses any innovative concept, product and service that creates new markets by applying new sets of rules, values and models which ultimately disrupt and/or overtake existing markets by displacing earlier technologies and alliances. </div><div><br></div><div>In the past the Banking Industry has been at the fore-front of radical changes ie Invention of the Telegraph and of course the ATM, i opine despite what we see Financial Services will send the trend in innovation in the not too distant future as they still have the scale and know-how to use technology to their advantage and will survive this threat as they did during the tech boom.</div><div><br></div><div>My question is as the Innovation week embarks on its 3rd year, Has the Innovation week created any traction that the existing corporate eco-system can leverage on?
