Innovation and Creativity!

Innovation is a perpetual challenge for corporate leaders like Simon Turner ’83, president of global development for Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide, one of the largest hotel companies in the world. “One thing that has been on my mind since reading Steve Jobs’s obituary is the importance of leadership in sponsoring innovation,” he said. “We have to look at sponsoring creativity, sponsoring that innovative mindset, and yet having that translate into value for our owners and an enhanced guest experience. Starwood has a history of innovation, but it’s tough to get that balance within a ‘supertanker’ organization. That’s why this kind of program is so valuable.”
