Innovation is the managerial practice of putting knowledge to work. We have the experience and network connections to share these concepts, especially in how to put them to work for you.

Joe Prochaska has been a leader in bringing the concept on innovation, as a managerial discipline, to the crop production and green industries over the past 20 years. He is now involved in a similar effort in the area of KM, or knowledge management, as information is rapidly becoming the nucleus of value in today's agricultural and horticultural business.

Leading edge knowledge in innovation is sustained through our involvement with the Peter F. Drucker Graduate School of Management in California and the Center for Creative Leadership, or CCL, Greensboro, NC. Claremont is ranked in the top twenty general management programs in the U.S. for 2001 while Business Week ranked the Center for Creative Leadership as No. 1 in leadership management programs in the U.S. for the year 2001. BW ranked the Center against all public and private programs, including every top-ranked graduate business school .

Entrepreneurial Thinking™ is a presentation that has captured this experience and these managerial principles in a format that provides you with an insight that can be put to work, immediately, in managing change.

The presentation is based on an invitation to present the topic, "Entrepreneurial Thinking in a Conservative Environment" at the Pharmaceutical Executive Forum for the Cambridge Health Institute in 2002. The institute is a leading executive education organization for the international health care and biotechnology professions.
