Technological development should matter and should solve real problems, shouldn’t it? In this insightful conversation with David Millen, a Senior Manager of Design Research at IBM Watson Health and an ACM Distinguished Scientist, we dive into the topics of purposeful innovation, developing organisational culture that is ready to take risks and the need for diverse teams with common language. David discusses how IBM is in a very different business it used to be and how any organisation needs to be able to morph over time. Finally, we get into futures thinking and its value as a tool to rehearse scenarios, so you’ve seen some of them before as fiction when you face them in reality.
