Video: How NFTs and Mobile-First Content are Changing the Sports World

By Collin Robisheaux, Alex Slawsby2022-02-01T10:30:00+00:00

Few industries have been changing as fast as professional sports, as new technologies like non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and “second screen” viewing on mobile devices take off.

 

As part of our “Innovation in Sports” series, InnoLead’s Senior Researcher Alex Slawsby sat down with Jack Elkins, Chief Sidekick at Sidekick Innovation and former Director of Innovation at the NBA’s Orlando Magic, to discuss some of the emergent trends in sports, including NFTs, mobile content consumption, and mobile sports betting.

    Sustainability is a Must: It’s Time for More Meaningful Innovation

    2022-05-24T10:00:00Z

    For many organizations, the decade ahead could be a matter of survival. Basic business requirements, such as financing and access to capital, will be tied to how a broad community of stakeholders view the business. For example, financial institutions may withhold loans to “unfit” businesses that are not aligned with the 2030 UN Sustainable Development Goals. To survive and thrive, organizations need to get better at harnessing existing innovations, as well as innovating further still.
