Show Notes
From spending hours a day on video calls, to curbside shopping for just about anything, we've gone through a seismic shift in the way we work, communicate and connect with each other.
And while sometimes change is difficult, every one of these ground-breaking developments has a hero behind it. Which is exactly what we’re talking about on today’s bonus episode of Innovation Heroes. We’ve gone through the last four seasons, to collect the best conversations we’ve had about the user experience – and the people and businesses helping to innovate it.
From AI-powered hotels, to augmented reality in the workplace, the way we interact with technology has changed for good. How businesses are taking advantage of these changes? Well, that remains an open question.
