Answer: Right here!

What made Thomas Edison the father of modern innovation? How is Exelon beating start-ups at their own game? More importantly, how is this relevant for utilities and businesses today?

“It’s not just that Edison created 1,093 U.S. patents and invented all of these remarkable things….” remarks Leonard DeGraaf. “It’s that he set the pattern for how the modern corporation in the 20th century continued to innovate and continues to innovate to this day.”
