Unconventional Thinking About Innovation
Change is the only constant in business. And when the pace of change outside of your organization is greater than the pace of change within, you will be out of business.

In this seminar, you will learn tips for systematically moving from ad-hoc to organic innovation. Hear what leading edge companies are doing today, and what you can do tomorrow.
