Open Innovation: What Organizations Should Be Doing About And Thinking About

If you live anywhere near the Bay Area chances are you have heard of PARC. Many people consider it to be what helped start and fuel the innovation in Silicon Valley. It's where things such as the ethernet, laser printer, graphical user interface, and the modern personal computer all came from. PARC is actually a division of Xerox and stands for Palo Alto Research Center. I had the opportunity to speak with their CEO Stephen Hoover (actually, Dr. Hoover since he has both a Ph.D and an M.S. in mechanical engineering from Carnegie Mellon) for this week's episode of The Future of Work Podcast. Stephen and PARC are also going to be featured in an upcoming episode of The Future of Work Show.
