Session Information:
The Role of Leadership in Innovation
Have you felt that innovation in your organization has fallen to the wayside? Have you been a leader of innovation and seen your hard work all for naught?
We all want innovation. Even you. Yet, research tells us very few know how to make it happen. That’s a big disconnect. If it’s something we all want, shouldn’t we be able to bring it about. The good news is we can. If we are willing to learn, unlearn and relearn a few things.
In this interactive session, we will demystify innovation through real-life examples of how and why innovation worked in both large and small organizations, We will also touch on what kills a thriving innovation program or lab.
Participants will learn:
