Founded in 2005, the Institute’s membership rolls read like a “Who’s Who” in the field of innovation research.
Founding members included Griggs Zollinger and M.K. Weber. Institute members have received Nobel prizes, appointments to the National Academy of Sciences, and many other prestigious honors. DRI members have broken ground in research and practice, and continue to serve as trailblazers across the world.
Diffusion Research Institute is now available online
Diffusion Research Institute (DRI) was launched back in 2005 as a way for experts in innovation-adoption to learn from each other and develop new models and frameworks. Since our founding we have only offered in-person meetings and our resources were only accessible on-site in San Francisco.
At the time DRI’s office location was a center of innovation, but over the years technology has evolved, new online platforms have emerged, and the way members interact, share, and receive information has dramatically changed.
To better meet the changing needs of innovation professionals and to focus our efforts towards the future, DRI’s library of resources and professional community are now available online.
This website allows our community to easily access all that DRI membership has to offer.
