Collaborate to Innovate - The rise of social networks
London - 15 - January
On 15 January 2007 we hosted an event to explore the sociological perspective on collaborative innovation, how social networking can lead to innovation, and the rise of online social networks.
Ron Burt, Professor of Sociology and Strategy at the University of Chicago, and social media expert, Meg Pickard, shared their thoughts on how collaboration and social networks are exposing people to a broader range of ideas and changing the way we innovate.
