Konica Minolta Disrupts LA
Company executives fired up the crowd, showing them glimpses of cutting-edge technologies like iris scanning and robots, as well as new Konica Minolta offerings, such as 3D printing and tactile varnish.
"The riskiest thing we can do is play it safe," declared Rick Taylor, KMBS president and COO, who took to the stage wearing a bizarre headpiece bedecked with a phone, calculator, clock, dictionary, a weather vane and more—wearable technology that he jokingly dubbed the "Taylor 2000." He noted that the company's substantial growth has come from "disruptive innovation," thus the "Art of Disruption" theme.
