Frans Johansson

Watch the video of his keynote presentation, The Medici Effect: Ground-Breaking Innovation at the Intersection of Disciplines and Cultures.  In this talk, Frans Johansson takes us on a fascinating journey to the Intersection: a place where ideas from different fields and cultures meet and collide, ultimately igniting an explosion of extraordinary new innovations. See how companies become global leaders, how products and services yield huge margins, and how researchers, managers, and artists outdo their peers.
