Overview
Innovation is the key skill of the 21st century. (It was also the most important skill of the 20th century, and it will probably be important in the 22nd century too.) Companies and individuals that know how to solve problems, identify opportunities, devise creative customer experiences and pivot during crises are going to succeed more frequently than those that don't.
Unfortunately, innovation is often presented as a difficult skill that requires you to basically re-engineer the way you think - and if you don't do it, your business is going to collapse. You've probably heard something along these lines before: “The world is changing faster than ever before, everything you're doing now is about to become obsolete, and if you don't come up with some industry-changing ideas in the next 18 seconds then…well, you don't want to know.” And if that's the kind of doomsayer message you're looking for, then you can find a different training series.
But if you'd like to learn how being innovative is a simple process that literally everyone is capable of, then you might enjoy Innovation Made Simple. Our training course will help make the process of coming up with new ideas, solving problems, exploiting opportunities, and surviving massive (and sometimes unexpected) disruption easier and more rewarding than you ever thought possible. Because it turns out that every innovation in every industry - from automobiles to streaming music, coffee cup holders to wartime treaties - follows the same straightforward pattern. Innovation Made Simple will walk you through that process and provide simple strategies for taking advantage of every opportunity that comes your way.
Your business is always changing, and so you will always need people to anticipate and capitalize on those changes. Innovation Made Simple will provide you with a powerful message - that all of us are capable of greatness, not just a few privileged elites.
Oh, and did we mention that it's also hilarious? Well it is. And imagine that - a keynote that's both educational and enjoyable. How innovative! Another training series from The Jeff Havens Company, where we provide serious solutions in a seriously funny way.
