About Michael Baker

Leadership: Enterprise direction, strategic enablement, int'l business development, corporate intra/entrepreneur, engineering program management, systems engineering management, business model and product architecture optimization, disruptively innovative composed systems and technologies, and advanced defense and space systems inventionDomains: Composability, regenerative/direct energy conversion systems, electric and compound cycle propulsion, artificially intelligent controls, carbon allotropes, thermodynamics, aerodynamics, military hypersonic aircraft and spacecraft Perspective: Disruptive Innovation is a wonderful term. Its all about being stopped in your tracks when a game changing way of achieving something comes to light. Often its something simple. Yet it can affect everything. The Art of the Simple can be powerfully transformational. But ... it isnt magic. And luck has absolutely nothing to do with any aspect of itTop innovator performance is always a possibility when an enterprise is willing to learn how to Think Differently. With people process and product technology focus I engage hidden innovation capacity and create disruptively inventive enterprises that think radically different on the way to becoming so. There is no place for the Comfort of Conformity in the Engine of Innovation. Do what youve always done and youll get what youve always got. I convert high potential enterprises into best in class.
