The multinational group of Innovation professionals (USA, Canada, Italy and India) came to learn GTI. According to the participants, the seminar was successful. Some of them have received immediate benefits. For example, Bill Fowlkes of Kodak applied GTI-based forecasting methodology to the business of printing, in which kodak is involved, and, admittedly, concieved a number of new novel product ideas. We applaud Bill's efforts to apply GTI and wish him success! A number of pictures were taken during the seminar by Michael Cattane. They could be found at the IPI Gallery page. Thank you, Mike!
