My presentation at Sprout ChallengerDay 2007

Last year I did a presentation during Sprout ChallengerDay on November 1, 2007. I talked about innovation, big companies and told an anecdote about how hard it is for big companies to innovate. More than 500 people were there and it was the first edition of the ‘Sprout ChallengerDay’ event.

I just received the video and uploaded it so you can watch it too. It is a Dutch presentation but the main story is one I blogged about before in a post titled “Big Companies VS Small Companies on Innovation” so read that if you don’t understand my Dutch.

  1. over nine month needed to edit, convert and publish a video?
    that’s too slow, one should publish a video the day after the event!
    next time better.

    Its about the message Edo. Even after those nine months, the message still has enough value to be posted. Makes it a good story, doesn’t it?

    I certainly enjoyed the video! Thanks for sharing. :-)

    Boris, after our short email conversation, at the end of 2007, about the Sprout ChallengerDay 2007 I have been waiting for decades for a video of you presentation to show up. Nice speech!

  4. You’re a good storyteller Boris, you must be awesome around a campfire :).

    Right on target with the attitude of big business towards start-up or ’small fry’ companies.
