In addition to co-sponsoring the event, GlobalLogic will provide attendees with a chance to play Innovation Games, a proven methodology of using “serious games” to help organizations tackle complex problems. Based on deep principles of cognitive psychology and organizational behavior, Innovation Games have been leveraged by major league players like Google, SAP and Qualcomm. Luke Hohmann, the founder of Innovation Games, will be in attendance at the station to help facilitate the experience and provide participants with a complimentary copy of his book, Innovation Games: Creating Breakthrough Products Through Collaborative Play.
“We are very excited to be participating in this event,” said Milind Patwardhan, Vice President, Marketing, GlobalLogic. “Global innovation and collaborative product development is rapidly becoming the preferred method of R&D, and Zinnov is going to great lengths to help product engineering decision-makers thoroughly understand its challenges, benefits and best practices.”
“As global operations are becoming critical for technology companies, we still see many myths surrounding globalization as executives enter the decision-making process,” said Vamsee Tirukkala, Co-Founder and Managing Principal, Zinnov LLC. “We hope to dispel these myths by directly addressing them in thoughtful panel sessions, by showcasing successful case studies, and by facilitating face-to-face conversations between attendees and industry leaders.”
