Soundview to Host Interactive Webinar with Dan Ward

PHILADELPHIA - May 12, 2014 - PRLog -- In this Soundview Live webinar, Igniting Innovation with F.I.R.E. Methods, noted military technology expert Dan Ward delivers his manifesto for creating great products and projects using the methods of rapid innovation.

During nearly two decades as an engineering officer in the U. S. Air Force, with tours of duty at military research laboratories, the Air Force Institute of Technology, an intelligence agency, the Pentagon and Afghanistan, Dan Ward observed patterns revealing that the most successful project leaders in both the public and private sectors delivered top-shelf products with a skeleton crew, a shoestring budget, and a cannonball schedule. Excessive investment of time, money, or complexity actually reduced innovation. He concluded the secret to innovation is to be fast, inexpensive, simple, and small.
