Leading Through Innovation
About Leading Through Innovation
Leading Through Innovation is at the heart of the Haas School. The importance of innovation in today's marketplace is undeniable: It is the driver of value.
Innovation is a Mindset
At Haas, innovation is a mindset, an orientation, not a discipline or function. It is defined broadly as people and organizations perpetually adapting and creating new processes, ideas, and products to create value. Leading Through Innovation is not just about technology -- although this is an important aspect of innovation, and the Haas School has long been recognized for its strengths in this area.
The Haas School has a culture where fresh thinking is encouraged and supported, and where leadership is expected. Indeed, the school is located in an innovation ecosystem that is unequaled anywhere in the world -- the San Francisco Bay Area and Silicon Valley. Innovation is a huge part of the ethos in the area. It is felt everyday at Haas.
