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.

Cool Video Effects by Eelke Dekker

The interview was done by Frank from frankwatching.com but unfortunately he is not visible in the video. I like the effect of the fast moving background. I actually sat there on that bench for about 30 minutes for the interview and after that they filmed the background for another 30 minutes and then...
