Innovation Excellence is going to curate 100+ Innovation Stories this year, share them on our site, at FEI and on our Cities Tour and beyond. We invite you to submit and share an Innovation Story from your world.
Why are we doing this?
Innovation requires courage.
And we believe courage comes (in part) from stories, especially telling them and seeing them.
We'll be joined on this Web Chat by leaders from HYPE Innovation, Fahrenheit 212 and Communispace, who will share how they use stories strategically in the innovation process.
Join us as we describe how we are going to prototype, curate and crowd-source, using HypeGo, stories of real innovators, caught in the act of changing the world, industry-by- industry, city-by-city.
We're going to share these stories freely, and do the research on what helps them 'spread,' with help from Sam Ford, MIT Media Studies Researcher and author of Spreadable Media. We will also look at the patterns in the stories, as media forms and as news, with Kim Garretson, Fellow, Reynolds School of Journalism.
