[ChrisHood]

Many of Google’s best ideas begin as experiments or passion projects in Area 120, Google’s in-house incubator. At Google Cloud, leaders often ask for practical lessons for empowering large distributed workforces to find, fund, grow, measure, and launch new product innovations that drive business and customer value.

In this five-part podcast Digital Master Class series designed for technology leaders, we set out to ‘open-source’ Google’s lessons learned on growing cultures of innovation, setting 10x product visions, driving organizational transformation, and leading people through the art of the possible.
