This Issue: The Eye of the Meta-Expert

The challenge of combining vision and eclecticism is a question I face a lot, and I'm probably not alone in this situation. The problem is a familiar one to many of us: how to navigate between the twin perils of overextension and boring oversimplification? Tough question. At Presans, our Fellows have set a high bar in this department. They show us that in the end, there's only one way to find out how far the envelope can be pushed.

Take care and see you next month.

How much multipotentiality does innovation need?

Yes, we talk a lot about multipotentiality and Émilie Wapnick in this article. But in reality it's all about our Fellows, and why you need them in industrial open innovation. In a nutshell: Presans Fellows are the highest grade, strongest type of multipotentiality you can get on the market.
