We need innovative ideas about how to tackle these challenges and be on our “A” game for whatever comes around the corner. But our ‘idea’ people and big thinkers are overloaded with too many priorities and never-ending demands. What if, instead of innovation being the responsibility of a few select people, we taught everyone how to think like an innovator? What if meaningful new ideas from every level today could truly drive the real results we’re hoping for tomorrow?” In this captivating keynote, Innovation Architect Carla Johnson shows why growth and performance hinge on drawing out original insights from every corner of the business. You’ll learn the five-step process that innovation icons use to consistently come up with great ideas that lead to bottom-line impact. She’ll show you how inspiration from small, everyday experiences ladders up to relevant business objectives. You’ll walk away feeling confident to create a culture of innovation involving everyone which will springboard your company to a new level of performance.
