What do you do if you're struggling to harness the power of big data in Technological Innovation?
I have found that when trying to tackle big data usage and enablement of projects to take the gatekeepers of those data sources on the journey with you, understand there motivations and goals and show how your workstreams can be aligned to enable both

You’re feeling uninspired in your work. How can you reignite your passion for what you do?
Life should be fun and so should your work, my experience as well as many people I have spoken to. That when you switch off your analytical part of your brain to just play and experiment is when your subconscious then helps reframe and have perspective on the current challenges you were looking to overcome. Great companies such as Lego encourage the importance of play and experimentation at any age, so why shouldn’t you ?

What do you do if you're overwhelmed with multiple innovative projects in Technological Innovation?
In my experience this is incredibly important , with a well rested mind and body you will be surprised how you will be able to deal with multiple projects and challenges. It’s key to rest your mind, body and soul to be a better innovator and see those possibilities you might not see when stuck in the weeds

How does mixed reality compare to VR? Hands on with the Microsoft HoloLens
The Drum
Back in 2015 Microsoft took to the stage at its annual Build Developer Conference to showcase to the world a vision of the future it called ‘mixed reality’. It came in the form of a product that had already spent five years in development. It was a wearable device that scanned your physical surroundings and overlaid digital objects or ‘holograms’ that only the wearer could see.

Connecting the Connected Lab Day
In the 14th Semester of Learning, the Labs and team hosted 'Connecting the Connected' Lab Day. The event culminated the learning from our latest semester, where we looked at the lines between our physical and digital worlds which are now becoming ever-more blurred and are set to continue with the rapid proliferation of connected objects and devices.

In the 14th Semester of Learning, the Labs and team hosted 'Connecting the Connected' Lab Day. The event culminated the learning from our latest semester, where we looked at the lines between our physical and digital worlds which are now becoming ever-more blurred and are set to continue with the rapid proliferation of connected objects and devices. The Internet of Things (IoT) is not just a trend, it’s here today in tools we are already using and it will drive trillions of pounds in economic value as it continues to permeate business and consumers lives. With this in mind, we posed the question: what does this mean for brands? The goal of the Lab Day is to help our clients start preparing themselves for these changes by working with new technologies and gearing up for a more connected world. Throughout the day we had brilliant speakers covering four key themes:
WORK
Hearing from the experiences of those already using IoT within their business. What worked, what didn’t and what would they do differently?
PLAY
Technology has opened up new ways that we connect and play with the world around us, in this session we will discuss a selection of playable examples that can work for brands to have more fun with its consumer interactions.
DISRUPTION
Innovation is a disrupting force to any process but it is necessary to evolve and keep you ahead of your competitors. In this session we will hear from various experts who will share their learnings of how they successfully disrupted and how you could do too!
SPACES
The spaces we live, work and play in are becoming more connected and are enabling us to create more meaningful experiences with the environment you are in. In this session we will hear from a range of speakers who are looking to connect to the environment we exist in.Other creatorsSee project -
