Lucy Hooberman’s Summary
Management of Innovation projects at the BBC. I am currently scoping a new initiative that will enable the public to explore how contemporary media content is made for the BBC . Recent work has lead the BBC to launch our blog network - http://blogs.bbc.co.uk - bringing six divisions together to work on the trial and priorities for our trial.
High level strategic research and innovation prototypes to recommend new approaches to content and distribution.
I also facilitate creative and team groups, coach within the BBC and currently serve on an EU project called NM2 - dedicated to delivering new tools for audiences to produce interactive content.
I am setting up a Corporate Innovation Network in consultation with some Industry partners in the UK and am currently "on loan" to a Not-for-profit advising on a move to web and mobile communications.
Innovation and Foresight work has also involved managing original reseach with industry publications and producing internal prototypes to stimulate discussion about the future.
I am a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts in London, a fellow at the School for Social Entrepreneurs and interested in the intersection of innovation practise across social, civic, design and technology sectors.
My background lies in TV production as a producer, series producer, executive producer and commissioner in mainstream television for Channel Four and the BBC in the UK, primarily in the area of factual programmes but with significan experience in drama production and managing sensitive storylines.
I am curently leading the research on a personal project for a new non profit or social enterprise, Mentoring Worldwide, a global peer to peer mentoring and skills recycling project, with support from the TED conference and a large group of inudstry professionals from around the world.
