\u201cIn the next 10 years, you are going to see more change than you have seen in your lifetime.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2014Amar Hanspal, Sr. VP, IPG Product Group, Autodesk<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Venture capitalist Steve Jurvetson of Draper Fisher Jurvetson delivered an inspiring keynote exploring the compounding nature of disruptive innovation in what he calls the \u201crenaissance of learning.\u201d (That would be now.) As a sitting board member at multiple groundbreaking companies including SpaceX, Synthetic Genomics, and Tesla Motors, Steve definitely has his finger on the pulse. (He\u2019s also the world\u2019s first Tesla Model S owner. Yeah, we totally want to be his friend too.) He shares fascinating case studies about pioneers in robotics, biotech, transport, and other leading and emerging industries, and asks the question: \u201cWill we design the things of the future, or will we evolve them?\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThe greatest achievement of our technology may well be the creation of tools that allow us to go <\/em>beyond engineering\u2014that allow us to create more than we can understand.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2014<\/em>Danny Hillis, The Pattern on the Stone<\/em><\/p>\n

Quoted in Steve Jurvetson\u2019s keynote<\/em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Autodesk VP of Corporate Strategy Jon Pittman presents tangible lessons in innovation that you can apply to your own business using 3 key ingredients: skill set, tool set, and mindset. He says in order to make the leap from \u201csustaining\u201d to \u201cbreakthrough\u201d innovation you must embrace the innovation mindset.<\/p>\n
