That's the key message of a new report from the world's leading innovation website, which incorporates advice from some of the world’s leading innovation experts. The report provides a valuable set of best practices and strategies that companies can use to help maintain their innovation initiatives during the current global economic downturn. As part of this study, a collection of innovation experts and practitioners were contacted to learn more about the strategies they recommend for maintaining innovation during challenging economic times.

Pitts was asked to take part in the study demonstrating his firm’s philosophy for intersecting innovation with military and battlefield strategy.
