28 min - ICTP 059: Improving ICT product testing to foster innovation in the Caribbean, with Dr Cathy-Ann Radix, of the University of the West Indies
Being able to develop software applications can be considered only half of the ICT innovation formula. Being able to design and/or properly configure the hardware to suit the requirements is equally, or even perhaps more, important. In our conversation with Dr Cathy-Ann Radix, of the University of the West Indies, we discuss the need for the Caribbean region to focus of ICT product testing, the missing half of the ICT innovation equation.

38 min - ICTP 056: Building Caribbean-relevant software applications, with the team from Rovika
Building software solutions that truly work is a challenge at the best of times. We talk with Dennison Daley and Manish Valechha of software development firm, Rovika, which is in Montserrat, where the population is less than 5,500. The duo seem to be punching above their weight, as they have been developing software applications that are being used by the Montserrat and British Virgin Islands Governments, but potentially could have wider take-up across the Caribbean region and in other developing countries.

Lorenzo Hodges of innovation strategy firm, Plain White Table, begs to differ. In this episode, Lorenzo discusses how innovation can be systematised in organisations, plus critical elements that must be in place in order for innovation to truly become part of an organisation's culture.
