Hosts: Prince Priyank and Aisleen O'Neill

We are very pleased to have Patrick Stacey with us today.

Patrick is Associate Professor of Information Management at Loughborough University and founder of Ankwilitas – The Emotion Analytics Company.

First, Patrick, can you share a few words about yourself and career to begin?

1.     We’d love for you share some thoughts on the design process for game development…

2.     Is creativity something we can teach? Can we manage or control it?

3.     What was the spark that prompted you to start “Ankwilitas”?

4.     Do you involve users or clients in the design process?

5.     What is your approach to delivering the software (design lifecycle, process)? Has it changed over time?

6.     We hear about businesses needing to ‘pivot’ the offering – a ‘pivot’ must be incredibly stressful…

7.     If you were starting a new venture and you had a choice between self-funding or bringing in investors…?

8.     Much has been made of university-based innovation hubs for delivering joined-up pathways for start-ups and spin-outs.  In your experience do they live up to the hype?

9.     Do you have any last thoughts or advice to share before we finish?

Well, we’ll wrap up there.

Thank you for talking with us and sharing your thoughts today.
