REALTIME CLUB 'ROUGH DIAMOND' TALK - MARCH 2019

“Our Broken Systems:

Towards Collaborative Innovation in the Digital Age”

"Fixing Complex Systems: Towards Collaborative Innovation in the Digital Age" A Real Time Club event

As we maintain industry simmering with uncertainty and paralysed by an inability to ‘innovate for good, innovate for all’ - particularly in all-things digital - perhaps what we need is a new impetus, new drivers and new processes to free companies that are suffering from ‘trapped-inside’ syndrome?

Nicole Yershon maintains: “It’s very easy to look around and think the world is stacked against you; everywhere you look there’s out-dated systems, and crazy procedures with processes that seem designed to reward the lazy.

They waste valuable resources and promote the mediocre. If you do nothing you may well spend your entire adult life having the imagination, inspiration and innovation sucked right out of you. You’ve got two choices, you can let it crush you or you can push back and write your own rules."

Nicole has written some new rules based on 17 years of developing new innovation processes put into practice in her own ‘Innovation Labs’ – they’ve proved successful.

The Real Time Club (RTC) was founded as dining club in the 1960s by US American IT entrepreneur Alan Marshall. For the first 25 years of its existence the Real Time Club dined at numerous London restaurants, but dinners are now usually held at the National Liberal Club in Whitehall.
