Ep. 08 - Lessons from 3M: How Manufacturers Can Encourage Innovation, with Terry Ceulemans, Jason Campagna & Rich Goldsbury - a podcast by Association of Equipment Manufacturers

"If you put fences around people, you get sheep."

The McKnight Principles, penned by former 3M President William McKnight, define the corporate culture at this $32 billion a year company. But, from its start as a failed mining operation, 3M has never stopped reinventing itself. And by giving employees permission to experiment, and even to fail, 3M continues to pioneer innovative solutions to modern manufacturing challenges. 

In this episode, tour the 3M Innovation Center and learn lessons from 3M's history that can help you create a culture of innovation in your own company. Guests include 3M's Global Technical Director for Automotive and Aerospace Solutions Terry Ceulemans, 3M Innovation Center Manager Jason Campagna, Doosan Bobcat President Rich Goldsbury and many more.
