Abstract

Natural selection is the process through which populations of living organisms change and adapt to the environment.

It’s almost impossible not to make the analogy between the known principles of evolution theory and the existential importance of innovation processes in organizations. 

In our round table, we will focus on the importance of facilitating innovation in companies and data science teams specifically, learn some relevant facts, inspire each other with ideas on how to promote innovation in our organizations, and ensure we are the next homo sapiens, and not the next dodo:) through a fun session.
