Value and Innovation on the Web
Value and Innovation on the Web
The following series of videos represent a selection of some of the top minds today touching upon topics related to the concept of value and innovation. There are two primary sources for these videos. The first is TED (short for Technology, Entertainment and Design), which is a global set of conferences owned by the private non-profit Sapling Foundation. TED conferences profile some of the most innovative and dynamic speakers that are influencing the modern world today within the technology and entertainment industries. The second source is RSA, the Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce. This British charity produces some of the most creative and inspiring lecture videos today. We hope that these videos will inspire and educate you in your pursuit of value!
