Perspectives on Innovation, with Chris Russell
Telephone Interview 15 January 2010
Chris Russell brings together over thirty years experience of launching and commercialising cutting edge innovation into both the Australian and overseas markets with the core inventive process itself.
Chris speaks passionately about the need to inspire and engage the public in innovation and not rely solely on education as the means of gaining adoption.
“Inventing is only half of innovation – the other half is engagement and providing value ….a lack of focus on engagement and the market brings about the lack of success that we mourn in Australia from so many great ideas.”
Nouspod talks to Chris Russell, about innovation as it relates to the NSW HSC Design and Technology Course. Questions address HSC Design and Technology outcomes for Innovation.
