I recently gave a guest speaker address to a leading media company. This is the generic version of the presentation.
Best captured by Walter Isaacson, "The next phase of the digital revolution will bring a true fusion of technology with the creative industries, such as media, fashion, music, entertainment, education, and the arts. Until now, much of the innovation has involved pouring old wine – books, newspapers, opinion pieces, journals, songs, television shows, movies – into new digital bottles. But the interplay between technology and the creative arts will eventually result in completely new formats of media and forms of expression. Innovation will come from being able to link beauty to technology, human emotions to networks, and poetry to processors."

THE QUESTION IS NOT
“HOW DO I MAKE INNOVATION HAPPEN”
BUT RATHER
“HOW DO I SET THE STAGE FOR IT TO HAPPEN?”
Today’s businesses drive most of their value through service, intellectual property, innovation, and creativity. So each year a higher and higher percentage of your work is dependent on the roles which have “hyper performer” distributions.
