Building Sustainable Innovation, the podcast, is a space designed to explore with leaders around the world and from different industries their stories and practices to cultivate agility, provoke creativity, foster innovation and embrace change. This Podcast is an invitation to rethink our idea about innovation, to let it unfold, inspire and learn from each other. In a world where change is the only constant in our lives, it shouldn't be so hard.
In today's episode, I am speaking with Sudhanshu Pal. He started his career at General Motors in India, and later on moved to Shanghai to work for ICONA Design Group.

In this conversation, Pal shares his personal story with us. We discuss the importance of thinking about everyday problems when building sustainable innovation. Why is collaboration one of the key components for creating a better future? What are smart cities, and what does it take to become an intrapreneur?

Rethinking Education with Dr. Samson Tan
In today's episode I speak with Dr. Samson Tan, head of the Centre for Innovation in Learning at the National Institute of Education (NIE) in Singapore. The NIE is part of the Nanyang Technological University, the sole education institute for teachers in Singapore.
Samson graduated with a Doctor of Education from the University of Western Australia in 2007. His research interest is in educational innovation and transformation. Next to his role at NIE, he is a member of several executives boards, and figures as a keynote speaker on Innovation in Learning and Learning Technology.
Prior to joining the NIE, Samson was involved in the successful SkillsFuture movement of Singapore, which prepares the workforce of the city-state for the future. Here, Samson spearheaded the lifelong learning and workplace learning initiatives.
In this inspiring conversation, Samson shares his vision on forward thinking education models. These models look at education in radically different ways than our current system, and aim to stimulate those skills in students that are essential for the future. How do these models look like, and what does it mean to create "learner-centric" environments? Why is diversity a key to innovation, and how can it help us in finding what we really like?
