Joseph Nyangon is a TED Fellow and was in the inaugural TED Fellows class of TEDGlobal 2007. Capitalizing on his understanding of different cultures and markets gained through traveling the world, he writes on innovations and ideas shaping the future. His book, Connected Dreams: How Ideas Move and Connect in Unexpected Ways, chronicles new paradigms of points of power and influence that are unlocking human potential—based on collaboration, empowerment, redefinition of challenges, and accountability—in a world that is growing global and more connected, and organizations that are becoming flatter and less hierarchical.
