Click here to listen to or download the Francis Pisani podcast on his Innovation World Tour. In conversation with Katherine Fulton.
Where is the digital revolution heading? What new sources of innovation will surprise us most? How will we innovate in the future? Will Silicon Valley be a model or just an inspiration for innovation worldwide?
Journalist Francis Pisani has been exploring these questions during a year-long, worldwide tour of innovation that has taken him to five continents, 35 countries, and 45 cities. From Nairobi to Seoul, Sydney to Rio de Janeiro, Tel Aviv to Saint Petersburg, and Ho Chi Minh City to Bangalore, Pisani found that innovation is blossoming everywhere and with surprising speed despite educational, cultural, and economic constraints. The world may be flat but it’s far from homogenous; as innovation responds to different needs, it will remain a source of remarkable diversity.
Having just completed his “winch5” tour, Pisani shares with us his stories and insights about our distributed innovation world and what it means for our companies, the Bay Area, and the United States.
