Look. Listen. Learn — Prophet’s latest videos, podcasts, and webcasts

Every project requires time, people and money. Most of the time we think of these things as constraints that restrict our possibilities. But what if we let these perceived constraintsactivate our creativity?

You’d be surprised at the lessons you can learn from a whale. Dr. Joy Reidenberg, professor of anatomy and functional morphology at Mt. Sinai, has made it her career to expose these lessons. Joy looks to nature for inspiration to solve human problems. Today we look to Joy for a new approach to a common business concern – adapting to change. Just as whales and other organisms have adapted to dramatic change in the natural environment, companies need to adapt to ever-changing business climate. What can we learn from the processes of change in nature that we can apply to our organizations? To answer this question, Joy discusses the evolution of whales and how nature can teach us some unique lessons. We also talked to David Aaker, Prophet’s Vice Chairman and the author of the best-selling book Brand Relevance: Making Competitors Irrelevant, for a valuable business perspective.

Rose Shuman is an innovator. Spending many years working on developing world projects she knows well what it takes to successfully bring something new into the world. This is illuminated best through her invention of a device called the Question Box. In this episode we explore the story of Question Box through the lens of Prophet’s innovation model Aspire to Realize. This model describes the path to innovation, and the steps necessary to stay inspired along the way. With Rose’s help we hope to  illuminate the innovator’s journey.
