For those interested in trends in international innovation, here’s the podcast of an interview I did with the organizers of an Innovation Summit taking place at Chapman University later this month. The discussion is based on my work with the Kellogg Innovation Network (KIN), which brings together leaders from major companies that are fostering new business design, and with my consulting firm, Clareo.
The 2010 Innovation & Humanity Summit itself will take place on January 23, 2010, bringing more than 35 speakers from six continents. Participants will come from academic, industry, nonprofit and community sectors internationally, and will include senior management from Tata, HEB, UST-Global, Pepsi Bottling Group, IBM, Yahoo, MindTree, Richmel Productions, InnovaStrat, Inc, Centre for India & Global Business and many others.
I’m looking forward to meeting fellow keynote speaker Adlai Wertman, Professor and Founder of the Society and Business Lab at the Marshall School of Business at the University of Southern California. He wrote an interesting piece on the Huffington Post about how laid-off people can change the world earlier this year.
I’m also looking forward to networking with other authors there, including Steve Farber, Karen Salmansohn, Subroto Bagchi, Nick Morgan and Sam Horn, whom I already know.
