Disrupt Together

Stephen Spinelli, president of Philadelphia University and former vice provost for entrepreneurship and global management at Babson, has co-authored Disrupt Together: How Teams Consistently Innovate. He emails, “Innovation strategist Heather McGowan, MBA’01, a former student of mine, and I integrate a network of international academic and corporate thought leaders on innovation, design thinking, applied ethnography, and business models to demonstrate the tight linkages between innovation and opportunity recognition. Building on the award-winning Philadelphia University curriculum redesign, the contributors, including business model expert D.R. Widder, MBA’99, also a former student, highlight how to identify relevant opportunities more effectively than ever before.”
