Michael Lew, founder and CEO of Lev Studio, Geneva/Los Angeles, answered to the question in French: “What percentage of ideas are actually carried out in your company?”. He says that most of the time the ideas remain in his notepad. He gets them out when there is an invitation to tender or for a contest. Or when he wants to show an idea to somebody he trusts. He actually carries out 5 to 10%.
Michael Lew is an award-wining new media artist working on expanding cinema and founder of Avracavabrac in Lausanne.
