About the Topic:
Looking for fresh ideas? Are you feeling pressure to find new and better
ways to do things? Could you use some new leadership strategies and
techniques? Our May speaker brings more than 20 years of experience in
finding innovative insights.
Outline:
1) Rediscovering your imagination.
Everyone is creative. It’s just that most of us have been conditioned to
suppress it.
2) Pragmatic creativity—Imagination with a purpose.
It’s not about what you know; it’s about what insights you can gain and how
you apply them.
3) Promoting innovation.
How to create an environment that promotes innovation
