Does IT Innovation Have to be Disruptive? - Guest: Jason Conyard, CIO, VMware

This conversation is part one of our three-part Lead/Forward series, where we talk with technology leaders about the real stories behind three themes: innovation, talent, and experience. In this episode, we tackle the theme of innovation from the standpoint of solving problems in unique ways that surprise and delight users and provide them with solutions they never knew they needed. Jason Conyard, VMware CIO, talks about how the term "innovation" is overused. He focuses on what's really required: a change in mindset as opposed to just a transformation in technology. During our chat, we cover how innovation can mean many things to many people and how creativity, trust, and diversity is what we're really talking about when we use the word innovation.
