Chris Griffiths at Digital Tuesday - Innovation as a Process
Channel: Digital Tuesday
Date: 2015-03-06

We spoke with Chris Griffiths, Founder and CEO at OpenGenius before he spoke at Digital Tuesday about great IP and ideas from employees locked up in businesses.

“We don’t make things anymore!” is a familiar criticism of UK plc because industry has moved away from purely creating jobs and prosperity out of materials and manufacturing, to a situation where the increasingly digital knowledge economy is becoming a reality. But how can you build a successful global business out of nothing but brainpower and ideas?

Making money out of your business idea was the subject of the 3rd March 2015 Digital Tuesday event at the Celtic Manor Resort in Newport, featuring world-renowned, Amazon best-selling author and entrepreneur Chris Griffiths.

Cardiff-based Griffiths, an international authority in helping major corporations and individuals get the most out of their innovation, is one of four expert speakers hosting the latest edition of Digital Tuesday.

Griffiths’ keynote will use current examples and experiences to focus on the opportunities to seize the Intellectual Property (IP) initiative and be first to market with your idea, showing some of the practical steps to rapidly creating value, as well as protecting it. The other panel members are Gary Townley from the UK Intellectual Property office in Newport, University of South Wales Professor Khalid Al-Begain, and patent attorney Gareth Scaddan from the firm Chapman & Co.

The potential value of IP is enormous but so is its current worth (around 70% of a typical business’s value), making this a key issue for established organisations generating new ideas, as well as start-ups. This session promises to be a must for anyone with their own valuable stake in the knowledge economy.

Recorded at The Celtic Manor Resort, Newport on 3rd March 2015.
