Speaker: David Nour
Adaptive Innovation™
Changing Business Models for Changing Market Demands

Friday, August 27
9 a.m. - Noon

Competitive advantage: we all want it for our companies. But many organizations lack the ability to adapt to today's rapidly changing market demands. The key to delivering value in this new environment is innovation, driven by leaders who build high-performing teams focused on what's feasible now and what's possible for the future.

In this session you will:
♦ Gain an understanding of innovation - what it is, and is not; how to produce it and to avoid the myths surrounding innovation
♦ Discover how to break the habit of falling back on traditional methods of adding value
♦ Learn a new process to rapidly identify and leverage true innovation
♦ Acquire methods for competing today, while preparing for tomorrow
♦ Discover how to identify and build 'disruptive' new business models
♦ Lean how to help your organization justify investments in innovation.
