RECENT WEBCAST: Innovating through the Storm: Insights on the Disruption in the Media Industry

On May 14th, the FASTforward Blog hosted a great discussion between Vivian Schiller, the CEO and president of NPR, and Scott D. Anthony, the president of Innosight and author of the forthcoming book: The Silver Lining: An Innovation Playbook for Uncertain Times.

Moderated by Renee Hopkins Callahan and sponsored by Microsoft, the discussion touched on topics ranging from:

* the challenges of today’s news business, NPR’s particular “business” and its need to “be its own disruptor”
* the “misalignment” of business models with real value in some of today’s media companies
* the role of technology in enhancing the user experience
* framing disruption as not just a threat, but also as an opportunity
* the need to experiment *and* be willing to fail often
* the importance of innovation even, sometimes, in the absence of a clear business model
