Audiences today want experts who speak, not speakers who claim to be experts.
Unlike speakers who researched the concept of innovation, Nick Webb lives it every day. He is an award winning, prolific inventor with more than 40 US patents for breakthrough technologies. He operates his own innovation lab, and he has set up centers for innovation for clients that have returned millions of dollars on their investment.
Most innovation speakers study innovation from the outside. They read the research, collect the case studies, and report back. Nick Webb has spent his career on the inside, taking products from concept through commercialization in healthcare, consumer goods, and industrial technology.
That work continues today. Nick operates his own AI Lab, where he is earning new patents in continuous patient monitoring and the analysis of mood states using artificial intelligence. When he describes what it takes to turn an idea into value, he is describing his own week.
He also builds innovation capability for others. Nick has set up centers for innovation for client organizations that have returned millions of dollars on their investment, and as CEO of LeaderLogic he advises boards of multibillion dollar companies on building future ready organizations.
