INNOVATION INSTITUTIONALIZED

Harry leads innovation at Fifth Third Bank.  It is like starting up self directed work teams in a union factory or bringing eBusiness into machine shops (both of which he has done).  It is something foreign and strange.  We don’t think it applies until we realize it is critical.  This discussion will be around how Fifth Third has been able to bring innovation and possibility thinking to an industry that is known for being staid, highly risk averse, and closely regulated.  Hear how to take advantage of the strengths of a big bank (chiefly resources) to explore exciting new opportunities in some very surprising and creative ways.
