Biography

Lawrence A. Husick’s 32 years’ experience as a technology consultant, computer system designer, and software author, as well as his 29 years of experience as an intellectual property lawyer give him a unique perspective on the need to focus on innovation as a central pedagogical theme and a defining characteristic of terrorism.

As a Senior Fellow in the Center on Terrorism, he studies and lectures on Cyberwar and related issues.

The History and Future of Innovation

Innovation is not just tools and toys - it's ways of thinking, doing, and seeing the world as it might be. Using "big history" techniques, Husick explores the topic from dozens of angles, and in the process, entertains and teaches his audience how to become more innovative in their own field.
