"One of the two things that I'm really going to push in this organization is trying to bring innovation to market," Hurley pledged. "Innovation creates opportunity; it demonstrates other ways of solving problems and that, in itself, generates spectacular growth. In our organization over the last three years, I've seen innovative products literally bring double-digit growth, into the 20-percent range."
He also emphasized evaluating projects from the customer's standpoint and concentrating on returns so the projects are self-funding.
