For busy business leaders and educators like David Pollard, Design Thinking Lecturer at UCD Innovation, the technology they use is imperative to their success. I have always found people like David really inspirational as his story shows that there’s not always one route to the career you want.

While he didn’t always know where he wanted his career to go, he knew he wanted to help people. Initially David learned a trade, but when he stepped into a classroom for the first time, he knew that teaching was his real passion.

Through years of hard work and dedication to teaching, David has led hundreds of lectures, workshops and seminars in Ireland and across the globe. Helping students find their own passions through design thinking and innovation.

Technology is what has allowed him to find, develop and share his passion for innovation and collaboration. Recently he explained the transformational impact that the right technology had on him, his ideas and his career, you can watch it below.

When your business is centred around innovation, you need technology that can keep up with your ambitions. The Microsoft Surface ecosystem offers powerful performance and flexibility to think, create and collaborate at any moment. Style and speed combine to provide an easy on the go technology solution that seamlessly integrates with desktop variations.

Business leaders, teams and educators need to be able to trust their technology and Microsoft offers that trusted, streamlined and powerful solution.

Watch our video with David Pollard to learn more about how the Microsoft Surface ecosystem can help you.
