Thought Leader Interview: Judy Estrin on the Innovation Gap in Silicon Valley and Beyond . . .

Posted by Tom Foremski - August 28, 2008

Here is my recent interview with Judy Estrin, former CTO at Cisco and one of Silicon Valley's most successful serial entrepreneurs. She has been concerned about the topic of innovation for many years because we aren't making the investments needed--in Silicon Valley and as a nation.

She says that the explosion of Web 2.0 type innovation is masking a large problem.

She has a new book on this topic: Closing the Innovation Gap: Reigniting the Spark of Creativity in a Global Economy

We spoke for about 90 minutes, here is a highly edited version of that conversation.
