Beyond the Obvious: Killer Questions that Spark Game-Changing Innovations 

Computer History Museum, 1401 N. Shoreline Blvd., Mountain View 

"Human beings are creatures of habit, so getting ourselves and our teams to think beyond the obvious is a challenge we face all the time. Phil McKinney is an innovation expert, and his killer questions and hit-the-spot anecdotes provide a great way to get out in front of opportunities we otherwise won't see." --Geoffrey Moore, author of Crossing the Chasm and Escape Velocity 

Phil McKinney has held a number of senior executive roles most recently as the vice president and chief technology officer for Hewlett-Packard's (HPQ) Personal Systems Group, where he was responsible for long-range strategic planning and research and development for all of the company's PC product lines, including mobile devices (phones, tablets, etc), notebooks, desktops, and workstations.

Over the course of his career, he has been profiled or had his work on innovation written about in media outlets ranging from tech press to Vanity Fair, the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal. McKinney also writes a column for Forbes called "The Objective," hosts a popular "Killer Innovations" podcast that CIO Insight has called "a must listen," and tweets from his @philmckinney handle.
