If digital innovation 1.0 was a pure digital play, digital innovation 2.0 will be about leveraging physical assets in creating and capturing value from digital assets. This is exactly where the opportunities lie for traditional firms. Stories of GE, Disney+ and Goodyear offer rich insights on how traditional firms should and should not pursue their digital innovation strategies.

A message from the Associate Dean of Development and External Relations Shirley Leonard:

“Cancelling the Weatherhead 100 awards and ceremony was a difficult decision for the Weatherhead School of Management family to make. In light of the impact that the pandemic has had on our small businesses in the Greater Cleveland area, we would have a limited number of qualified companies. Because of this, we want to be fair and understanding to those businesses that may be undergoing hardship.

In its place, we are offering an array of webinars designed for small businesses on different topics to help them through these uncertain times, and we are partnering with Crain's Cleveland Business to celebrate multiple-year winners.

We hope to resume the awards and our gala event in 2021, given the health, safety, and wellbeing of our business community. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to seeing you in 2021.”— Shirley Leonard, Associate Dean, Development & External Relations
