Innovation TV Part 2

GUEST POST from Steve Todd

In a previous post I wrote about my company’s use of EMC TV for the final stages of the innovation process. During that post I mentioned I would also share how internal ideators use the same medium to advance their own innovation initiatives.

As promised, here are a full set of elevator pitch videos that ideators created to sell internal ideas within EMC.

As a part of the Innovation Roadmap process, finalists have the opportunity to give a virtual presentation of their ideas to judges via an elevator pitch video. Teams distill their idea down into a 3-minute filmed presentation and do their best to give a holistic overview of the concepts and distinguish themselves from the competition. With close to 100 videos submitted to the 2013 Roadmap, the breadth of variety and creativity demonstrated by EMCers is astounding.

Check out four standout videos below for a glimpse into the earliest stages of innovation at EMC:

1. EMC Power Smart

2. Integrate Smart Org-Chart

3. eLearning Apps

4. Log Analysis & Data Collection Framework
