Innovation is the hot buzzword in todayﾒs business discussions, and you need to be equipped with the tools and techniques to drive innovation in your organization.

PowerPoints/Handouts Available

Success in any enterprise requires leaders with the vision to see when strategic changes are necessary, as well as the ability to drive those changes. Strategic vision at the top, however, is only the beginning in creating an innovative business environment. Two things are necessary to make innovation a way of doing business across the entire enterprise on a day to day basis: the development of innovation project leaders and an innovation process that these leaders can follow. During the presentation you will gain insight as to how you can develop the internal talent of today’s project leaders and business analysts into tomorrow’s innovation leaders with an important role in shaping business strategies which define future success.
