Key quotes:
- “This is also a great day because we are launching our Exploration Lab, in collaboration with Capital Factory. This Exploration Lab is really a dedicated space on the 5th floor that enables us to collaboratively experiment and innovate as that ecosystem to develop solutions to mission critical challenges.” (01:49)
- “Continue to remain open minded, continue to think about how we actually take the things we hear today into market with us, continue to think about how we’re going to just experiment and try something new, because that’s what innovation is all about: it’s all about trying, it’s all about failing, and it’s all about coming back and doing it again better, differently, and with more success each time we try.” (08:05)
- “Our goal is to take the isolation out of innovation.” (03:39)
- “We’re going to thrive, it’s just a matter of time to create that new normal, figuring out how we’re going to work together, and what are we going to create for all of us to thrive in this new environment.” (05:14)
- “There are hundreds, if not thousands, if not millions of innovative startups and solutions that occur all across the landscape. And we really wanted to tap into those on the ground, working hand in hand with those startups at accelerators to test out new solutions, to get under the covers of those solutions, and to expand the reach of the individual technology piece to the last mile of these client challenges.” (02:49)
