Reading Reflection Week 11

   This weeks reading reflection is based off an article from the Harvard Business Review. "You Need an Innovation Strategy" by Gary P. Pisano is a key informational component in making a successful entrepreneur.  As a part of the Innovation Academy at the University of Florida I found this article to have several relations to my other classes. Innovation is a peculiar subject, not many really known what innovation is or what makes an innovator. This article and the other classes I take give me a special insight into innovation.
   In my first innovation class at UF I felt overwhelmed with ideas. While I thought that was a good thing, to have thousands of ideas, my teacher taught us that it is better to focus on one thing at a time. Much like this article she suggested that we come up with a strategy to help us better form our ideas to be successful. Based on my experience in innovation I completely agree with the author that you need an innovation strategy. I did not agree with the whole article however. Pisano uses Corning's approach to innovation as a key aspect in his article. He did not spend much time looking into other innovation strategies and I believe the article would benefit from that.
    If I were to ask the author two questions I would ask him about his own experience as an entrepreneur and what was his innovation strategy? The article was well written and I did not find anything too confusing. This was my favorite writing assignment so far.
