Innovation Insights from Megan Smith at Harvard i-lab

Megan Smith is the CEO of shift7 and former U.S. Chief Technology Officer (2014-2017).

In this video, Mitch Weiss (Richard L. Menschel Professor of Management Practice at HBS) interviews Megan Smith about her journey of innovation and impact.

The fireside chat was part of a series of events at Harvard Innovation Labs centered around the story of General Magic (www.generalmagicthemovie.com), the secretive Silicon Valley startup that created the world’s first smartphone, told through an engaging workshop program and award-winning documentary. Although their initial product failed, the technologies developed by General Magic have changed the lives of billions.

In the conversation, Smith shares her perspective on the role of innovation and technology in government and society, the need for collaboration and inclusivity to drive meaningful change, and the importance of collective intelligence.
