How to Innovate from a Distance

This is the video from the fifteenth in our series of virtual coffee breaks – designed to provide a caffeine-enriched forum for discussion amongst senior executives who might otherwise be going stir-crazy working from home. 

The topic for discussion this morning was ‘How to innovate at a distance’.

The famous British industrialist, Sir George Buckley, despite being a card-carrying member of the ‘innovation rules club’ stated in a recent article in the Sunday Times that he couldn’t see how you could innovate unless this was done in a single physical space.

To challenge this assertion and demonstrate it is possible to innovate even when we are no longer able to be in the same physical workspace, our guest speaker for this morning’s Virtual Coffee Break was Richard Poole, Managing Partner of Fluxx, the audacious and creative innovation consultancy.
