What You Will Learn
In nature, the fittest survive-and in business, the fittest are those who innovate because so many struggle to do so. In fact, research shows that the vast majority of M&A's actually destroy shareholder value, and 90 percent of companies can't maintain their growth curves for more than a few years.
According to global leaders like TNT, Siemens and Hitachi, innovation is about defining and bringing clarity to unknown, unarticulated and unmet customer needs. Innovation is also about having the right management framework in place, and about knowing how to identify the right mix of people for staffing growth initiatives.
When you know these secrets, you can ignite the best ideas that can become the best new product and process innovations. You can innovate with more predictability and regularity. And you can have your competitors constantly wondering what you know that they don't know.
This session is led by BMGI's master consultant with more than a 20 years of leadership, operational and problem-solving experience across a broad range of industries. As He'll leave you with actionable insights, tools you can apply and a whole new perspective about how manageable innovation and growth can really be.
