On this week’s Riveting Broads’ episode, Molly and Jacqui take a minute to reflect on everything happening in our world due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. With the sudden and devastating loss of Molly’s dad, Don, Molly and Jacqui attempt to to navigate the unimaginable pain associated with grieving and coping through any major disruption in your own way. The broads talk about collective trauma, coping with loss during a pandemic, and how there is no right way to do things right now, so we’re just doing the best we can (and listening to medical professionals’ advice). To support the Kelley Family, friends and loved ones can make a contribution in Don’s name to Harborlight Community Partners, of which he was a devoted supporter and long time board member, or any local nonprofit on the front lines of the COVID-19 Pandemic. IF you have been affected by the COVID-19 Pandemic, you can refer to list this of references and resources for individuals and businesses in MA. Thank you to our front line workers for the sacrifices you continue to make for the greater good and health of our society. Please support them by staying home (if you can).

Bob Bennett became the Chief Innovation Officer for the City of Kansas City, Missouri, in January 2016 after a 25-year career in the US Army. He leads the Smart City initiatives, a suite of projects including: data analysis, Public Wi-Fi, digital kiosk installation, and smart lighting programs in the city’s downtown core. Kansas City’s initiatives earned an Edison Award (Gold) for “Collective Disruption” and civic innovation in 2017, and Bob was named one of GovTech’s 25 Dreamers, Doers and Drivers in 2018. He is currently working on plans to extend Smart City infrastructure throughout the 318 miles of KCMO with an emphasis on Digital Inclusion and partnering with Avis on deployment of the first fully Connected Vehicle Fleet in a municipality. 

Smart cities are popping up all over the world – tackling various issues: cutting crime; reducing traffic congestion; relieving pollution levels. And while the initiatives may vary, every smart city has the same goal – to improve the lives of its citizens. The smart city at the centre of our podcast is Kansas City and we talk to Bob Bennett, Chief Innovation Officer of Kansas City, and Gordon Feller, founder of the highly influential smart city program Meeting of the Minds, both of whom are tasked with harnessing the power of data and technology for the greater good. Follow the discussion as we explore the definition of a smart city; what it means to live in one; how they are changing the way we work; and what we can expect from them in the future.

Why does it seem like start-ups are having all the fun lately? All too often big companies will launch an incubator or start-up environment in their company only later to close it once the company starts to feel nervous about their growth. In today's Modern Customer Podcast we learn from Michael Docherty the author of Collective Disruption: How Corporations & Startups Can Co-Create Transformative New Businesses. In the book Michael reveals how the smartest corporations are learning to partner and co-create with startups for transformative innovation. The book provides established companies with a practical framework for plugging into the startup ecosystem to fuel and incubate new businesses. As CEO of Venture2 Inc., Docherty and his organization work with leading companies to transform their innovation capabilities, build innovation ecosystems and accelerate the commercialization of breakthrough new products, services and business models. He is a frequent speaker on innovation and corporate venturing and an active supporter of the entrepreneurial community.

Global Product Management Talk is pleased to bring you episode 080 of... The Everyday Innovator with host Chad McAllister, PhD. The podcast is all about helping people involved in innovation and managing products become more successful, grow their careers, and STANDOUT from their peers. About the Episode: When established companies decide they need to be more innovative, they often talk in terms of acting more like a startup. But acting like a startup is much more challenging in reality, especially for larger organizations. Instead, established companies can partner with startups. Doing so is the topic of the book, Collective Disruption: How Corporations and Startups Can Co-Create Transformative New Businesses.  This interview is with the author of the book, Michael Docherty. He is a leading innovation expert and entrepreneur with a variety of broad-based experiences from senior-level corporate roles, start-ups, consulting and venture capital. I expect you’ll find value in the discussion if you have interests in innovation from either the startup perspective or the larger organization perspective. In this interview you will learn what Collective Disruption is and the 4-stage framework for applying it: Discover,Define,Incubate, andIntegrate.

Mike Docherty is the author of a new book titled, "Collective Disruption." Brian got the chance to ask him about his ideas in the field of open innovation and what comprehensive partnership looks like. Mike stressed that innovation through partnerships isn't enough for a corporation to move forward but that a new form of full-scale collaboration with startups is necessary for real progress. He also shared stories and insights from his 10+ years in the innovation space. Mike would love to hear about your perspective and experience at venture2.com and on twitter @dochertymic. You can also find "Collective Disruption" on Amazon. For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy
