The seventh edition of Venture Builders Meetup, this time with a keynote from Dan Wood, founder, innovator, and someone who has spent years figuring out why some ideas make it and most don't.
His talk, "What Good Ideas Need to Survive", is built around the Innovation Equation, a framework Dan developed over years of working with teams and organisations: Leadership + People + Technology + Context. Not a theory. A practical lens for understanding what conditions an idea actually needs to survive the journey to becoming something real.
After the keynote, Dan stays on stage for Q&A; then we move to networking.
