During August, I am taking time to reflect on some of my favorite interviews since I launched this podcast. Steve Rader is not only an award-winning speaker, innovator, and thought leader on innovation, but he has also taught most of us more about Open Innovation than any other I know. Over the past eight years, Steve served as the Deputy Director for the Center of Excellence for Collaborative Innovation at NASA. He has found a way to harness the power of the crowd and their love of outer space to get people from around the world to collaborate on the next set of innovations that will take us to Mars and beyond. In this episode, Steve shows us how open innovation brings diverse new talents to large organizations like NASA, ushers in new ways of thinking, and inspires an even greater level of collaboration and innovation culture at the organization.
