The Wow Factor Workshops
november
october

The E&D Program featured  the new  “Wow Factor Workshops” delivered in Naperville, IL, and in Murray Hill, NJ at Alcatel-Lucent campuses.

I joined speakers from Bell Labs, Motorola, FrogdesignCarnegie-MellonIIT’s Institute of Design, and NIU’s Management Information Systems. My presentation discussed “ideation” and “concept research” tools. I would like to thank Kate Saunders, E&D Program Manager, for organizing these events.

Sensing the Future

Among all of the talks I have given this year, “Sensing the Future” has become the most popular one.

In addition to my incoming presentation at Alcatel-Lucent’s Naperville auditorium on October 26, this month I’ve had the pleasure to deliver and discuss this topic at IIT’s VoIP and BIC.

Both audiences were engaged and my talk was followed by very interesting conversations. See links below.

Sintetia innovation article

Sintetia published my article on “Keeping Your Eyes Wide Open to Innovate” in Spanish.

Once again, the magazine’s chief editor let me know that my article is credited with another spike in the site’s traffic growth.

 

Filing patents

I am really happy to share that Alcatel-Lucent is filing two patent applications yielded by projects that Dave Benco and I have been working on, and that more patent submissions will follow.

 

And, as seen in this picture, I ended up shaving my beard this past summer ;-)

This is a long shot but I  have been strongly encouraged to submit my name and the “democratizeit” project to 25FOR25.

“AOL is looking for 25 creative thinkers, tomorrow's ground breakers and visionaries, individuals with a creative spark to ignite. 25 for 25 is a call to innovators who believe in the power of ideas.”

anywhere blogging

Anywhere, any device, anytime publishing” is a brief post featured by The Bloggers Bullentin.

I reflect on the fact that affordable consumer electronics coupled with web 2.0 services and mobile broadband enable any of us to communicate with anyone in the world, any way we like. This is, no doubt, revolutionary and I am lucky enough to experience it first hand. 

 

Global Innovations Conference
Frost & Sullivan - Exec MindXchange
Game Changers presentation

This year’s edition gathered 70+ executives from multinational corporations for a two day workshop on how to innovate in today’s challenging economy.

My presentation was broken down into two parts “Game Changers” and “Sensing the Future.

I addressed emerging and disruptive trends and technologies capitalizing not only on market shifts, but also on less well understood paradoxes.

My delivery was rated 4+ by the attendees using a 0-5 scale.

I would like to take this chance to thank Felicia Davis again for all of the help she provided and the event’s success.

May

E&D is a two day conference that I spearheaded for the purpose of dealing with thought provoking concepts and what’s next in digital communications.

Note that we purposely decided to call the 2010 event “E&D 2011” to reinforce the point about having discussions on the industry’s future.

The agenda featured 20+ speakers from Bell Labs and Alcatel-Lucent product units and market research teams. I had the pleasure to give the keynote presentation.

Giving credit where due, I would like to thank Kate Saunders, E&D Program Manager.

Sintetia interview

Sintetia is a Spanish online magazine catering to economists.

In my interview I addressed questions regarding innovation in today’s challenging economic environment.

Interestingly enough, Sintetia’s editors have shared that their site has experienced a web traffic spike originated by the posting of my interview.

In the next few days I will be translating the transcript into English, which I will make available on my blog.

Emerging Communications 2010

This year I returned to Emerging Communications as a blogger.

eComm 2010’s speakers and panels addressed a number of hot topics shaping the telecommunication’s industry and the third day was completely devoted to augmented reality trends and technologies.

Once again, my gratitude goes to Carol Davids of the Illinois Institute of Technology for inviting me to present at the VoIP Lab Rountable in March.

NASA

The family trip we made to Cape Canaveral was really amazing: the Space Shuttle launch (STS 130) the briefings for SDO (Solar Dynamics Observatory) and seeing the Atlas rocket carrying it to space became a thrilling experience, not to mention enjoying Florida’s kinder weather ;-)

About Innovation - Talk

My talk at Alcatel-Lucent’s Naperville campus on redefining innovation was followed with interest. I am sharing some the slides for public viewing.

By the way, the first section of this presentation borrows the visuals I crafted last year for Innobarista’s videoclip.
