Creating a Culture of Innovation April 11, 2012

1.5 General/Strategic Recertificaiton Credits

As organizations move through the mature stages of quality, empowerment and high performance, creativity becomes a necessity. Yet most people utilize less than 50% of their creative and intuitive ability. This is not because of inherent limitations, rather an unawareness of how to incorporate relatively simple procedures into their daily routine.

In this highly interactive presentation, using individual, paired and group exercises, you'll gain tools and models for promoting and sustaining a culture of innovation in your organization. Go beyond linear progression in solving business and managerial problems and learn to integrate creativity in a way that becomes a regular part of your day-to-day operation.

To gain the most value from this session, please bring a specific problem or challenge you face which could benefit from a creative solution.
