On Friday, I led a one-day workshop on the topic of demo-driven innovation at the PhD Summer School organized at the University of Zurich. There were about 15 students in the audience. We had a relaxed and constructive time.

Talking about the process of innovation is not always perceived as a comfortable topic, but this time I enjoyed both the challenges and the answers that came from the students. It is always a privilege to be around eager young minds. I will follow up with more notes around raised issues such as whether six words can tell a story, or whether pure academic exercises can be considered to be innovation. In the meantime, the slides and handouts I used can be seen below.
