David Pender
David is Principal of Knowledge Perspectives, a collaborative consulting hub that deals with intellectual capital issues, an adjunct senior lecturer at the University of Adelaide Business School and Chief Knowledge Officer of Blockchain Global Advisers. He has a particular interest in innovation in more traditional companies, the knowledge networks needed to support the introduction of major change (including application of new technologies) and disruption.
The topic: Knowledge networks to support innovation
Innovation is “messy”, does not occur linearly and nearly always needs a group of people who are willing to deal in “incomplete ideas”. The presentation will deal with those issues, concentrating on what the innovation network might look like and how it might be built. It will be supported by examples from practice.
