The hardest step in innovation? Looking foolish in front of the crowd
Innovation doesn't just take a great idea. It requires persistence and a thick skin. Jack Levis led the four-year long development of ORION, a system that determines the most efficient delivery route for UPS drivers and has been called the world's largest operation research project. At the center of a movement (and a department) that fundamentally challenges the status quo, Jack explores how we can persist – when everyone around us says, 'stop'.
