This week on the pod, the gang receives a masterclass in embedding innovation into a business from the Director of Innovation at S/L/A/M Collaborative, Keith Fine. Keith took a moment of necessity to create a virtual workflow at the onset of COVID and has used it to chart a path to redefine how the firm is now using 3D Spatial and AI technology to work both with its clients and internally. Tune in for a can’t-miss conversation as we talk about sourcing and inspiring talent, create a new competitor for Siri, drop some golf metaphors and teach Bobby and Tess a thing or two about Star Wars.
