X’s Astro Teller on Managing Moonshot Innovation

How do you solve the world's toughest problems? Or find the next
big thing in tech? Lots of organizations fail to explore and take
big bets on new ideas because they can't tolerate the mess of
experimentation and the fear of failure. At X, Alphabet's dedicated
innovation factory, they don't have that problem, and Astro Teller,
Captain of Moonshots at X, can explain why. Undertaking projects on
everything from rural communication to ocean health to machine
learning, he and his teams operate with different creative mindsets
and decision-making principles than many of us. He spoke with host
Alison Beard at HBR at 100: Future of Business live virtual
conference.
