What does innovation mean to you?

Innovation is sector-specific. What it means in medicine or product design isn’t the same as in tech. In tech, innovation should either solve a real, measurable problem or make everyday life simpler in a meaningful way.

What do you believe is the most important capability for companies to thrive in the economy of tomorrow?

Imho the most important capability is a high learning rate: turning data into decisions quickly and responsibly.

Build lean, ship as soon as possible, gather feedback, improve, ship again and don't be afraid to make mistakes.

How can we leverage our collective strength to create a more prosperous future?

A more prosperous future comes from lowering the cost of participation.

Open Source in tech and Open Access in Education!
