Through all aspects of society be it art, design, the financial markets, government, technology or communications we are witnessing unprecedented global transformation - the result of which is impossible to predict.

Patents are being used to wage war in the digital world, and as a result, patents have become a toll gate on the road of innovation.

As the world we live in is so unpredictable, the ability to learn and to adapt to change is imperative, alongside creativity, problem-solving, and communication skills.

Technology for technology's sake is not innovation. What we in the industry have to be concerned about is what products do, as opposed to what the processing power is.

Even in developing markets, we're seeing the growth of digital communication is proceeding at a very rapid pace.

The U.S. has always been a global innovation vanguard - driving advancements in computing, communication, and media to rail, automobiles, and aeronautics.

There needs to be a bigger focus on creative innovation versus business models and cash flow.

The pace of innovation may slow down or speed up depending on the appetite in the public markets, but the constant progress of technology doesn't really ever stop. There's always opportunities for new ideas and creative people to go build great things. I'm always interested in learning about those kinds of opportunities.

If you're not looking toward the future or trying to improve the current technology, you'll be left behind.

Many new technologies come with a promise to change the world, but the world refuses to cooperate.

People are moving into modes of participation and self-generation, which apply to everything from museums and television to architecture.

IT for a long time has been about how do you make old processes more efficient. But with all of the progress in digital technology, there is a kind of digital transformation that is occurring. And you see it with the explosion in the number of devices; you see it in the explosion in the number of applications.

Despite all our gains in technology, product innovation and world markets, most people are not thriving in the organizations they work for.

Taking new technology and incorporating into how people work and live is not easy.

Innovation and disruption are the hallmarks of the technology world, and hardly a moment passes when we are not thinking, doing, or talking about these topics.

Design is a tool that either allows us to create new markets or disrupt existing ones.

Innovation is so hard and so frustrating; it takes the intersections of people with courage, vision, and resources.

As technology progresses, I believe that fintech will fundamentally change finance.

The rate of change is not going to slow down anytime soon. If anything, competition in most industries will probably speed up even more in the next few decades.

Innovation, especially in America, is continuing at a breakneck pace, even in areas facing substantial political or regulatory headwinds. The advances in health care in particular are breathtaking - so many selfless souls are working to advance science, and this is heartening.

Innovation is the calling card of the future.

There's an ongoing competition by global companies across all areas from products, technology development and hiring talented people to patent disputes. The market is big and opportunities are wide open, so we should find out new businesses that Samsung's future will hinge on.

Technological change always accelerates. It never stagnates over time. Which means we are going to face the fact that, if nothing in the States changes, we will find ourselves dependent on other countries for almost everything that can and will be manufactured in a quickly approaching future.

What new technology does is create new opportunities to do a job that customers want done.

Business has only two functions - marketing and innovation.

All over the world, social innovation is tackling some of the most pressing problems facing society today - from fair trade, distance learning, hospices, urban farming and waste reduction to restorative justice and zero-carbon housing. But most of these are growing despite, not because of, help from governments.

The emphasis on innovation and technology in our companies has resulted in a few of them establishing global benchmarks in product design and development, manufacturing practices and human resource capabilities. However, there is no room for complacency.

Nobody knows the future with certainty. We can, however, identify ongoing patterns of change.

Innovation is the running theme and spirit of the policies adopted by the Chinese government, and it is the banner that we will always hold high.

Most companies target women as end users, but few are effectively utilizing female employees when it comes to innovating for female consumers. When women are empowered in the design and innovation process, the likelihood of success in the marketplace improves by 144%!

Good, bad or indifferent, if you are not investing in new technology, you are going to be left behind.

What new technology does is create new opportunities to do a job that customers want done.

The entrepreneur always searches for change, responds to it, and exploits it as an opportunity.

Trust the young people; trust this generation's innovation. They're making things, changing innovation every day. And all the consumers are the same: they want new things, they want cheap things, they want good things, they want unique things. If we can create these kind of things for consumers, they will come.

The role of innovation inside the company is so important. That's how we get growth, and there's no way to drive innovation without learning and change.

Technology is changing so fast that investment in hardware is getting riskier everyday. On the other hand, whether it is traditional computers or smart gadgets which are part of the convergence technologies of the future, some planning of hardware needs is still important.

We are always looking ahead to anticipate what next, and our unique innovation architecture enables us to take an innovation-led approach to help our clients invent the future.

There's a rising tide of environmental awareness and activism among consumers that's going to continue to swell in the 21st century. Smart companies will get ahead of that wave and ride it to success and prosperity. Those that don't are headed for a wipeout.

Today, companies have to radically revolutionize themselves every few years just to stay relevant. That's because technology and the Internet have transformed the business landscape forever. The fast-paced digital age has accelerated the need for companies to become agile.

A disruptive innovation is a technologically simple innovation in the form of a product, service, or business model that takes root in a tier of the market that is unattractive to the established leaders in an industry.

My mantra is: 'Good design accelerates the adoption of new ideas.'

Learning and innovation go hand in hand. The arrogance of success is to think that what you did yesterday will be sufficient for tomorrow.

Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.

The development of exponential technologies like new biotech and AI hint at a larger trend - one in which humanity can shift from a world of constraints to one in which we think with a long-term purpose where sustainable food production, housing, and fresh water is available for all.

The emphasis and value on ideas and original thinking is an innate part of British culture, and in many ways, that describes the traditions of design.

Innovation makes the world go round. It brings prosperity and freedom.

British innovation in design, in the creative arts, in engineering and manufacturing is world class.

If you look at history, innovation doesn't come just from giving people incentives; it comes from creating environments where their ideas can connect.

The pace of technological change in recent years has been both impressive and positive for consumers.

Technology moves so quickly; you can't get comfortable with the business you have today because technology will progress.

Such manifestations I account as representing the creative leadership of the new forces of thought and appreciation which attend changes in technological pattern and therefore of the pattern of human relationships in society.

The only constant in the technology industry is change.

The trends that are shaping the twenty-first-century world embody both promise and peril. Globalization, for example, has lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty while contributing to social fragmentation and a massive increase in inequality, not to mention serious environmental damage.
