Keynote Talks
-
We know our world is changing at a rapid pace, and being innovative is no longer a "nice-to-have" but a "need-to-do"! What does it mean to become innovative? How can we not only embrace innovation, but embed this way of thinking within our culture?
The key is to think like a scientist, and experiment. The challenge of course is that it is easier said than done. To build this muscle around innovation, we need to first focus on establishing the mindset. Innovation is rarely a single big bang instance, but rather a series of incremental behavioural shifts. In this energetic keynote, learn how to transform some of the smallest changes into some of the biggest results by embracing change and innovation within yourself and your teams.

Navigating change is rarely easy but igniting action is a must. To truly enable change in how we work and how we think, we need to break it down to a science - that’s right, we’re talking about neural pathways in your brain! No, this isn’t a science class, but this is an opportunity to get down to the bare bones of what it means to impact how and why we do what we do.
How do we leverage the power of human decision making to continue to adapt and embrace change?
-
What does it mean to be creative? Whether it’s being able to generate new ideas, or finding ways to jazz up existing ones, all of us are capable of driving creativity within ourselves, our teams, and beyond! In fact, an IBM survey of more than 1,500 CEO’s reported that creativity is the single most important leadership quality facing the complex business world of today.
While creativity can seem messy, this session provides some fun and structure on ways we can unleash our inner creativity guru to help our teams and our customers think outside the box.
