A Personal Presentation on Innovation, Courage and Meaning — From Whiskey to the Hotspots of the World .
Can innovation be born in an old slaughterhouse on the North Sea — and grow into something that both tastes amazing and changes the world? In this presentation, Martin Vesterby - co-founder and brainchild of Stauning Whisky, invites you to a different story at the distillery. Innovation is understood not only as product development and export, but as the ability to create value under pressure, in partnerships — and with an eye to what really matters. With experience from Stanford, Berkeley, the Innovation Foundation and Aarhus University — and most recently the work in Ukraine on solutions for frontline needs — it examines what happens when you think big, act locally and refuse to be governed by the Jutland Jantelov. A law that, for better or for worse, has taught us that quality is something we don't brag about—but that we don't always dare to share either. Can one think big and still stand firm?
Can whiskey and value-based innovation learn from each other -- without losing their grounding?
