Intersections - Mission to Innovate: Recent Episodes
Prachi Sukhatankar & Kuan Collins
Organizations are facing rapidly changing priorities and challenges, including the global pandemic, economic disruption, commercial space operations, civil unrest, and a bewildering tsunami of new technologies and tools. Increasing expectations from consumers to deliver services at speed and a high-quality user experience demand digital transformation that is accelerated by a culture of innovation and collaboration. A "Together is better" mindset is required across all domains to create a seamless and connected innovation ecosystem that drives agility, adaptability, trust, and transparency. In this podcast series, Prachi and Kuan discuss intersections and share their real-world experiences that are foundational for this kind of sustainable growth, innovation and a purposeful living. The podcast has two series: Foundations and Interviews. In the latter, Prachi and Kuan bring guests from multiple disciplines such as Strategy & Innovation, Technologies and Mindfulness.
