    Professor's Preface:

    This volume represents the collected and collective work of the Fall 2016 class in Management
    of Innovation at the Johns Hopkins University, Whiting Graduate School of Engineering. It
    addresses innovation processes and issues in Big Data and its applications in a variety of fields.
    As a collaborative effort, it is designed not only to inform the reader, but to inform each
    contributor to the whole. It is distributed on-line, as an electronic document, and we hope that
    you will download and read it with interest.

    Innovation entails both potential advantage, in the form of enhanced return on invested capital, and, inescapably, increased risk, since there can be no innovation without failure, or at least the possibility of failure. We have argued that most established organizations and their participants learn to avoid failure and lack of predictability, in favor of reliable returns, but that this makes such organizations vulnerable to the forces of creative destruction and disruptive innovation. At some junctures, new technologies make it imperative that organizations innovate, or risk being swept aside by a wave of rapid change. We view the emerging technologies known as “Big Data” as one such wave.

    It is my hope that my students and you, the reader, will gain some insight into the manner in
    which a bit of the innovative spirit may be kept alive, even in established organizations.

    As a Technical Strategist and Architect deeply passionate about harnessing technology for social good, I am excited to share my involvement in EchoSign. This groundbreaking project is a reflection of my commitment to developing solutions that are not only technologically advanced but also deeply empathetic and inclusive.

    At the core of EchoSign is the innovative application of Microsoft Azure, Teams, and M365 technologies. This strategic integration facilitates real-time and accurate sign language interpretation for both spoken and written communication. My role was pivotal in the strategic planning and technical execution, ensuring the solution precisely catered to the needs of individuals with hearing impairments.

    EchoSign is more than a technological breakthrough; it represents a significant stride towards enhancing accessibility and inclusivity. It pioneers new possibilities in workplaces, educational settings, and everyday interactions, bridging communication gaps that have long existed. My journey with EchoSign has been immensely fulfilling, deepening my understanding of the unique challenges faced by the deaf and hard-of-hearing community and reinforcing my dedication to crafting purpose-driven technology.
