This keynote presentation or workshop uncovers the keys to building a culture of innovation in your company and career.
Every organisation in the world wants innovation. It’s even included as a core value and key strategic imperative in most company’s vision statements these days. And yet, it is so rarely achieved. Most organisations move from year to year experiencing not much more than incremental growth and small change steps.
But there are the exceptions. Companies that sustain double digit growth, that come from nowhere to dominate their industry and year after year seem to be able to bring new products to their marketplaces and sustain customer loyalty and interest over time. Research into these companies reveals some important truths about what a true culture of innovation looks like. The good news is that there is no magic secret – anyone can build a culture of innovation if they know what really works.
Innovation for Real shares the research the TomorrowToday team has done into the world’s most innovative organisations. It’s filled with case studies and practical insights highlighting twelve keys that can be applied by individuals, teams and organisations.
