Global Innovation

Innovation Panel at IIT 2008

I was recently asked to moderate a discussion panel on Innovation and Entrepreneurship. The occasion was the Global Alumni Meeting of the Indian Institutes of Technology (www.panIIT2008.org) and the keynote speaker of the day was Bob MacDonald the Chief Operating Officer of Procter & Gamble.  My panel had an illustrious crew as well including the co-author of the “The New Age of Innovation”.  There were several other panels on at the same time: but the power of text messaging was apparent as attendees texted their buddies to come in and join our group: we ended up with ~25% more attendees than when we started.

A live blog feed was provided so I won’t try to summarize the discussion myself, just click here to learn what people said.
