Humble Innovation with Faith Legendre, Cisco Systems (Season 2, Ep. 2)

"It's not about what people think they need. It's about creating solutions for the future that they didn't know they needed." -- Faith Legendre

As we begin season two shining a light on Tech 2025 members who are defining emerging technologies and inspiring us to push beyond our perceived limitations, we could hardly find a shining star brighter and more inspiring than Faith Legendre (Business Outcome Strategist, Cisco Systems). Faith is passionate about helping people. She specializes in corporate and social good, benefitting both at Cisco and The Aspen Institute. And she is a self-professed "hoarder of #humansideoftech use cases of tech."

Faith (whose personality embodies the definition of her name perfectly) has been an awesome member of the Tech 2025 community since we launched our very first event one year ago on January 11(Battle of the Chatbots & Conversational Interfaces in 2017). In this episode, Charlie and Faith have a deep-dive conversation about the importance and impact of building communities around emerging technologies that everyone can participate in and how companies can avoid becoming "zombie organizations" in these exponentially innovative times. Faith's unique insights and advice on how to embrace change and the future is just what we need right now (that and humility).
