THE WORKSHOP ($495)

Everyone wants innovation. Indeed for many it’s about survival. You only have to look at Thomas Cook to see the shifts of change. Many C-suite’s talk culture change, but you can’t talk your way into culture change from the top. Your employees have to want to change the culture. 
 
So what if there was a toolkit that made Innovation easy, creativity tangible and the process fun? One that would allow you to embed innovation into everyone’s DNA.
 
Leaning on his 25 years of experience at Disney, most recently as head of Innovation and Creativity, Duncan Wardle will share some very simple innovation tools and creative behaviors to help you get out of your now River of Thinking (your own experience and expertise) and help you Think Different.
