Beth Comstock, the former vice chair of GE, and their longtime head of business innovation and change initiatives, tackles the biggest issue in business --how to stay nimble, adapt faster, and constantly evolve in the face of almost daily change and disruption.
BETH COMSTOCK's mission is to understand what's next, navigate
change and help people and organizations do the same. She is the
former Vice Chair of GE, where she led efforts to accelerate new
growth and innovation, initiated GE's digital and clean-energy
transformation, seeded new businesses and enhanced GE's brand value
and inventive culture. As President of Integrated Media at NBC
Universal, Beth oversaw TV ad revenue and new digital efforts,
including the early development of hulu.com.
Written about and profiled extensively in the media, from the New
York Times to Forbes, Fortune, and Fast Company, she is also on the
Forbes list of the most powerful women in the world.
If there is one skill that more individuals and companies need
to hone it's imagination. And if there is one person who can teach
us how to do it, it's Beth Comstock. Woven together through own
journey, Comstock offers us simple and practical steps on things we
can all do to prepare ourselves for the future...or even invent it.
