    ICT 332: How to move from ‘innovation-lite’ to an innovation powerhouse, with Professor Patrick Hosein

    Innovation continues to be a big buzzword in the digital age, with organisations, and even countries, aspiring to be ‘more innovative’. But what does that mean, and what can Caribbean countries and organisations do to better nurture and, ultimately, leverage innovation? We circle back to one of our earliest interviews and the interview that launched our innovation series in 2019!   Based on his illustrious career in Engineering and Education, Professor Patrick Hosein shared his thoughts on, among other things:   *  what Caribbean countries might be doing wrong with regard to fostering innovation;   *  who exactly should be driving innovation; and   *  important elements that are still missing in the Caribbean to foster innovation.   The episode, show notes and links to some of the things mentioned during the episode can be found on the ICT Pulse Podcast Page (www.ict-pulse.com/category/podcast/)    Enjoyed the episode?  Do rate the show and leave us a review!     Also, connect with us on: Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/ICTPulse/  Instagram –  https://www.instagram.com/ictpulse/  Twitter –  https://twitter.com/ICTPulse  LinkedIn –  https://www.linkedin.com/company/3745954/admin/  Join our mailing list: http://eepurl.com/qnUtj    Music credit: The Last Word (Oui Ma Chérie), by Andy Narrell ---------------- Also, Sponsorship Opportunities!

    ICTP 328: A 2024 update on ICANN and why we all should be more involved in current and upcoming activities, with Albert Daniels

    https://bit.ly/4fnDxaKTo the outsider, the internet-related issues that the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) is addressing can seem intimidating.

In our latest conversation with Albert Daniels, the Senior Manager for Stakeholder Engagement for the Caribbean, we discuss some of the latest developments in the ICANN Space. Some of the areas covered include:   *  what exactly is ICANN and why it is important;   *  the Registration Data Request Service and the implications for law enforcement;   *  the new generic Top-Level Domain (gTLD) Program; and   *  how Caribbean countries could benefit from this and other upcoming initiatives.   The episode, show notes and links to some of the things mentioned during the episode can be found on the ICT Pulse Podcast Page (www.ict-pulse.com/category/podcast/)    Enjoyed the episode?  Do rate the show and leave us a review!     Also, connect with us on: Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/ICTPulse/  Instagram –  https://www.instagram.com/ictpulse/  Twitter –  https://twitter.com/ICTPulse  LinkedIn –  https://www.linkedin.com/company/3745954/admin/  Join our mailing list: http://eepurl.com/qnUtj    Music credit: The Last Word (Oui Ma Chérie), by Andy Narrell ---------------- Also, Sponsorship Opportunities!
