Bridging the gap between an idea and it's implentation is critical to success. Innovation is a catalyst. It can create and sustain an economy. But, innovation is only a catalyst - an ingredient in a process. An idea is seldom enough. A process needs to be followed and other ingredients added. Discipline around the idea is needed.
Even if your innovation is revolutionary, if you don't have a process to take it to the market -- to bridge the gap-- it won't create or sustain anything. PREDA has partnered with the Grande Prairie Regional College to create the Centre for Research & Innovation (CRI). The Centre has a process for guiding innovators and their innovations to the market. You have the catalyst. We have the ingredients and the process. Let's be successful.
