STOP THE INNOVATION KILLING. HOW TO BECOME THE INNOVATION CHAMPION YOUR ORGANIZATION NEEDS
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.
We’ll share how through trial and error we developed our Orchard Model of Innovation that allows innovative practice
and creative thinking to emerge cross-culturally.
