Steve Spear’s work has focused on the anomalous ability of a few organizations to bring value to market faster and easier than typical for the counterparts. These standouts enter situations better prepared knowing what to do and how to do it, equipped with the skills and other capabilities to act on that knowledge. That preparation for success reflects that they’ve been learning, discovering, innovating, and inventing with a speed, depth, breadth, and consistency that is the bedrock for persistent success. The principles by which a culture of innovation is developed grew out of research from standouts in the manufacturing space but have since been applied and validated across the broad spectrum of high tech product design and new technology ramp, life sciences, healthcare delivery, social services, and military situations. He has a doctorate from Harvard, masters in mechanical engineering and management from MIT, and a bachelors degree with an economics focus from Princeton.
