The Yitzhak Rabin Center, in collaboration with the Nadav Fund and the Wexner Foundation, hosted Columbia University Professor William Duggan at the Beit Hatfutsot Museum October 18 for a fascinating lecture entitled, “Strategic Intuition: The Key To Innovation.”

Professor Duggan enlightened the audience of 150 students, professors and member of the community on the concept of “strategic intuition,” a powerful set of ideas, methods and tools for innovation based on the latest breakthroughs in modern neuroscience, principles from classical military strategy, and surprising truths about how great achievements in business and other fields actually happen.

Professor William Duggan is the author of three recent books on strategic intuition as the key to innovation: Napoleon’s Glance: The Secret of Strategy (2002); The Art of What Works: How Success Really Happens (2003); and Strategic Intuition: The Creative Spark in Human Achievement (2007). In 2007 the journal Strategy & Business named Strategic Intuition “Best Strategy Book of the Year.” Professor Duggan is the author of three previous books as well, and has twenty years of experience as a strategy advisor and consultant. He has BA, MA and PhD degrees from Columbia University.
