Richard DeVaul is a thought leader in innovation, a consulting CTO and the founder of HyperSolve. He joins Enterprise Radio for a discussion about innovation consulting, deep fauxs and creating a better world.
Pay attention to host Eric Dye & guest Richard DeVaul discuss the following:
- Is innovation something you would define?
- What would you say separates organizations that successfully innovate from those that do not?
- You’ve written about the dangers of deep fakes. Please elaborate.
- Cryptocurrency has made a resurgence over the last few years. You can compare cryptocurrency’s rise to the dot-com boom.
- You’ve worked on problems to build a better world, such as climate change and closing the digital divide. What’s a current problem you’re working on to continue to build a better world?
Conclusion: Before you design a product, you need to design the org. And without genuine, visionary leadership in each product team, you won’t inspire greatness. And C-level/VP leadership needs to defend the independence of product team leaders so that real innovation isn’t stifled by org politics and empire-building.
