Industry-leading companies reveal the secrets and lessons of transition leadership, the importance of customer engagement and the power of open innovation.

The knowledge enterprise identifies the critical elements of the strategies and organisational dynamics relentlessly pushing all parts of the corporation towards breakthrough innovations. It is about mastering innovation as the driving force to make a difference to society, people and healthcare.
