In The Innovator's DNA, the authors, Jeff Dyer, Hal
Gregersen, and Clayton Christensen identified five
"discovery skills" that distinguish the most creative
executives. They are associating, questioning, observing,
experimenting, and networking. As the authors examined
what motivates innovators, they "discovered two common
themes: (1) They actively desire to change the status quo,
and (2) they regularly take risks to make change happen.
The authors found that "innovative entrepreneurs...steer
entirely clear of a common cognitive bias called the status
quo bias-the tendency to prefer an existing state of affairs
to alternative ones." Innovative entrepreneurs do not
believe that mistakes are anything to be ashamed of; in
fact, they are expected as a cost of doing business.
"Innovators rely on their courage to innovate--an active
bias against the status quo and an unflinching willingness
to take risks--to transform ideas into powerful impact."
These skills make up what is called the innovator's DNA.
And the good news is, if you're not born with it, you can
cultivate it.
Best regards,

Establishing an International Presence in
Virginia, by Atul Sharma, Virginia Economic Development Partnership
The Commonwealth of Virginia was founded as a global business venture in
1607 when English colonist landed in Jamestown, Virginia-the first permanent
English settlement in North America.
Today, Virginia is a leading gateway to successful business in North
America. More than 700 internationally owned companies call the
Commonwealth home. Key industries flourishing in the Commonwealth
include Food Processing, Aerospace, Defense, Plastics & Advanced Materials,
Data Centers, IT, Life Sciences, Automotive, Energy, Distribution, and
Corporate HQs. Virginia offers the qualities that corporate decision-makers
everywhere are seeking in today's global environment. Our exceptional
infrastructure, strong education system, low taxes, dynamic workforce, strategic
location, and pro-business climate provide a solid foundation for growth and
make the Commonwealth a great place for global enterprise.
International companies contribute to the state's economy by enhancing
international trade. In 2010, sales of international goods and services from
Virginia to the world topped $28 billion. Internationally owned firms in
Virginia are often significant exporters of locally made products. Listed below
are reasons why Forbes.com ranks the Commonwealth of Virginia America's

2. More than 700 internationally owned businesses from 45 countries are located in
the Commonwealth.
