Advisory board


CINet’s advisory board currently consists of four members. Professor John Bessant is one of the founding members and widely acknowledged for his work on innovation, ranging from incremental, continuous improvement to discontinuous innovation. Professors Ross Chapman, Paul Coughlan and Mariano Corso are all members of the first CINet board, established in 2001. They have continued supporting the network in its development since they resigned from their board positions.
