In this engaging and mentally stretching keynote, John demonstrates how innovative thinking can transform your organization’s present limitations and problems into tomorrow’s opportunities.
Innovation: Strategic Leadership Perspective on Open Innovation for Senior Executives
Innovation is successful when it permeates an organization and becomes viral and systemic – ingrained in the culture. This is not a chance occurrence, but rather the result of a culture that has been led to accept open innovation as the leading dynamic driver of the organization’s future and sustainability. For this to occur, the organization’s executive leadership must be seen as fully engaged and committed to creating this culture of innovation.
Innovation initiatives should arise from and be guided by the organization’s strategic plan. Innovation that is startegically directed will return the highest ROI.
In this keynote, John delves deep into the the ways by which executive teams can move their organization from merely talking about open innovation or experiementing with it, to actually establishing innovation as the paradigm for charting the organization’s strategic future. As with all of John’s keynotes, each time he presents he begins from a clean sheet of paper, to create a keynote that is uniquely designed to meet the specific needs of that particular audience, in this case, senior executives either of a specific company or industry. The take-away is a clear and concise understanding of how they can create an organiztion driven and transformed through strategic innovation.
