Leaders from the standards publishing industry gathered on November 14 in Alexandria, Virginia, for the bi-annual Standards Publishers Innovation Forum (SPIF) presented by Techstreet, part of the Intellectual Property & Science business of Thomson Reuters and a provider of industry codes and standards. The fall forum, The Anatomy of Innovation: Global Perspectives for Standards Developing Organizations, focused on how innovation drives success.
The one-day event attended by standards professionals and industry experts focused on innovation and how it helps drive growth and manage change. Participants learned how organizations use innovation to develop new products and services to better serve customer needs. Speakers from Innodata and Thomson Reuters engaged with attendees on topics including the link between standards, innovation and patents; building persona-based web applications; and using innovation for information discovery.
Launched in 2012, the Standards Publishers Innovation Forum is held twice annually to address key issues in the standards industry. The forum offers a unique opportunity to learn from industry leaders, collaborate with peers, and help shape the future of standards publishing.
