Summary
With aggressive attempts to capture the value created by the firm’s intellectual property, while at the same time reducing costs, IP-rich companies can emulate Thomas Edison’s slow but sure journey to the boardroom. But we still have further to go. Profits are not everything, and we still haven’t arrived at the boardroom door. More levels are ahead—including the Synthesize Opportunities level, the next tier on the IP Value Hierarchy.
