Bennack, Jr. PC_ICBook_FINAL.indd 1 3/18/13 11:07 PM The Innovation Imperative In November 2012, The Paley Center for Media convened the twentieth meeting of the International Council since this perennial gathering of global media leaders began in 1995. Delegates from here in the US to countries in Latin America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, assembled at the Paley Center’s New York headquarters and the Time Warner Center for three days of dialogue and debate under the guiding theme “Innovation without Borders.” Certainly, as a longtime convener of international media leaders, The Paley Center has seen that growth goes hand-in-hand with corporate investment and partnerships across borders. Thanks to the blossoming of Internet and mobile technology, we’ve also seen new opportunities for growth bubbling up in cities around the world, where communities of media and technology entrepreneurs are establishing their own local iterations of Silicon Valley. Photo by Timothy Greenfield-Sanders Timothy by Photo These emerging ecosystems are fantastic engines of innovation. Still, startups have not cornered the market on ingenuity. Innovation is happening at all levels, whether it’s in someone’s garage, loft space, or a sky- scraper. It’s happening everywhere, because it must. IC2012 NYC shone a spotlight on media and technology innovation and entrepreneurship happening inside and outside the US, at the startup level and within mature companies. We began with a look at New York’s Silicon Alley before getting the view from LA’s Silicon Beach. We zoomed in on Israel and India before hearing about innovation at scrappy little outfits like the BBC and The New York Times. Finally, we closed the summit with insights from the leaders of multinational conglomerates on how they foster a culture of innovation at their respective companies. Between sessions, delegates and speakers continued the conversation at a series of social events, including a cocktail reception at The New York Times Building, a luncheon at the iconic 21 Club, and a gala evening at Hearst Tower, featuring a suitably innovative meal prepared by celebrated chef Wylie Dufresne and chef Charles W. Granquist. Once again, each session was streamed live, enabling viewers around the world to tune in.

    Patricia Phelps de Cisneros Por más de cuatro décadas Patricia Phelps de Cisneros ha sido promotora de la educación y del arte, con un enfoque particular en América Latina. En la década de los setenta estableció, junto con su esposo Gustavo Cisneros, la Fundación Cisneros con sede en Caracas y Nueva York. La misión de la Fundación es contribuir a la educación en América Latina y dar a conocer el patrimonio cultural latinoamericano y sus múltiples contribuciones a la cultura global. La Colección Patricia Phelps de Cisneros, fundada a principios de la década de los noventa, es la principal iniciativa cultural de la Fundación Cisneros. Primeras influencias, trabajo y educación William Henry Phelps (1875-1965), bisabuelo de Patricia Cisneros, emprendió una expedición ornitológica en Venezuela, tras concluir su tercer año de licenciatura en la Universidad de Harvard. En ese viaje se enamoró del país y, al concluir sus estudios, regresó para asentarse permanentemente en el país. Phelps fue el gran emprendedor de su época, desarrollando prácticas modernas de negocios y estableciendo varias compañías, desde emisoras de televisión y estaciones de radio hasta importadoras de automóviles, refrigeradores, victrolas, máquinas de escribir, además que fue pionero en introducir el gusto por el béisbol en el país. Creó también la primera fundación en Venezuela. Su profundo interés por las ciencias naturales lo llevó a convertirse en un notable ornitólogo, a catalogar muchas especies aviarias de Suramérica y a publicar sus descubrimientos junto a su mentor, el científico Frank M. Chapman, en el Museo de Historia Natural de Nueva York (AMNH por sus siglas en inglés).

  • Future-Proofing a Decade of Change Open Innovation 2030
    Open Innovation 2030 Future-proofing a decade of change Open Innovation 2030 From covid-19 to climate change, economic recessions to technological disruption, 2020 has served as a reality check that global crises are only going to become more common in today’s increasingly-complex and connected world. ‘Open Innovation 2030: Future-proofing a decade of change’, a thought leadership program commissioned by HCL in partnership with The Economist Intelligence Unit, explores how companies can seize opportunity in complexity to not only survive, but thrive, now and in the coming decade. To rise to the occasion, business leaders must align on an enduring vision to build a better future; one underpinned by equality, sustainability and global cooperation. Enterprise risk management typically focuses on ‘known risks,’ amplifying them to model the maximum impact so that the worst case scenario can be planned for. At the other end of the scale, ‘unknown risks’ are considered outlying cases, like the asteroids that sometimes fly by Earth—we know they exist and have plans that can be attempted as a possible first response, but they largely remain on the edges of our planning blueprints. ven with a canvas that wide, structures.

  • Patricia Phelps De Cisneros
    Patricia Phelps de Cisneros For more than four decades, Patricia Phelps de Cisneros has fervently supported education and the arts, with a particular focus on Latin America. In the 1970s, along with her husband, Gustavo A. Cisneros, she founded the New York City and Caracas-based Fundación Cisneros. Its mission is to improve education throughout Latin America and to foster global awareness of the region’s heritage and many contributions to world culture. The Colección Patricia Phelps de Cisneros, founded in the early 1990s, is the primary art-related program of the Fundación Cisneros. Early influences, work, and education Patricia Cisneros’s great-grandfather William Henry Phelps (1875—1965) undertook an ornithological expedition to Venezuela the summer after his junior year at Harvard University. During that trip, he fell in love with the country, and after graduation settled there permanently. Phelps was a great entrepreneur of his era who developed modern business practices and established many companies that ranged from television and radio networks to those that imported automobiles, refrigerators, Victrolas, typewriters, and Venezuela’s first taste of the game of baseball. He also started Venezuela's first foundation. Following his deep interest in natural science, he became a noted ornithologist who catalogued South American bird specimens and published his discoveries alongside his mentor, curator Frank M. Chapman, at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. A supporter as well as a scientific contributor to the AMNH in the following years, Phelps was awarded the position of Research Associate there in 1947. Patricia has credited her great-grandfather’s meticulous attention to the classification of his tropical birds as the inspiration for her awareness of the high level of care and cataloguing needed to preserve a collection and make it available for study.
