Becoming More Innovative – Innovative Thinking for the Common Person
Duration: 60 min
Category: Growth & DevelopmentMany companies claim to be innovative, but not many have a structured approach to teaching and executing true innovation. The best out there do.
Innovation leads to positive change that will fuel your company’s growth and your growth as a professional too. One way to look at innovation is to break it down into BIG “I’s” and Little “i’s”. A Big “I” is a larger scale change that might lead to breakthroughs or disrupt a current model, while a Little “i” being a smaller change that can improve a current process or service and have great impact.
Hear from a six-time president and CEO about his ability to break ideas into BIG “I’s” and Little “i’s” and the steps needed to turn them into a reality.
Learning Objectives
- Identify where your companies’ current level of innovation
- Understand the 5 keys to being an innovative thinker
- Explore the drivers of innovation
- Analyze the RACER Model – the process for innovation
