“IBM’s Global Innovation Outlook: a worldwide conversation about innovation that matters”
In 2007, the GIO will focus on three new areas that represent trillions of dollars in economic activity, have far-reaching societal impact and are ripe for innovation:
1. Media and Content — the challenges every organization and individual faces resulting from the changing nature of content creation, distribution and ownership;
2. Africa — investment strategies and policy implications as the African continent more fully enters the global economy;
3. Society and Security — balancing societal and individual interests in the areas of personal, commercial and national security.
From The Global Innovation Outlook’s blog: “The GIO, as it is affectionately known, is essentially a global series of open and candid discussions –- called “deep dives” — with business leaders, academics, politicians, non-profit groups, and other influential types that have the knowledge and ability to affect change through innovation.”
