"All organizations require one core competency: Innovation."
– Peter Drucker
As Peter Drucker emphasized, innovation is the core competency for dealing with the aggressive pace of change. More than ever, businesses need people who can think creatively and work together to promote a culture that supports innovation. Through dynamic, interactive learning experiences, participants in Leading Innovation: Thinking Creatively for Positive Change will measurably improve their creative thinking skills and leverage those skills for positive change. Executives and managers will learn how to lead innovation, and return to the workplace with an innovation plan for their organizations.
The program features Michael Gelb, internationally renowned author, speaker and consultant. Discover why the Process of Systematic Innovation is considered to be Thomas Edison's greatest invention, and explore the components of the Five Competencies of Innovation. "In a field cluttered with misinformation, Michael Gelb is an authentic source of practical wisdom for those who seek to develop their creative powers." – Murray Gell-Mann (Nobel Laureate, Physics) |
