Of the Fortune 500, about 70 companies have been on the list every year for 50 years. The average age of these firms is 115. These firms have been built to last. What's their secret? Brad Jackson, co-founder and CEO of Slalom Consulting, suggests that the common denominator of those 70 firms is that they've built a culture of innovation. How they've managed to do that is another question, entirely. Jackson will shares his secrets of innovation, which have not only enabled the 30 percent year-over-year growth of Slalom, but also prompted Slalom's clients to move out of their comfort zones and consider unique possibilities they didn't even know existed. As part of Jackson's "5 Secrets to Creating a Consultancy with a Culture of Innovation" presentation at the Consulting Summit in New York on Oct. 24, attendees will learn some new techniques for innovating professional services firms and the clients they serve.
