You’ve heard about the importance of innovation from leaders in nearly every industry. From Steve Jobs to Bill Ford, innovation has become a mantra for organizations that are thriving as well as those that are striving.

If we are serious about taking the lead in innovation and reinvigorating the Wisconsin and U.S. economy, as well as the global marketplace, we need to stop singing innovation kumbaya and start delving into the practice and science of innovation.

But can innovation actually be taught? Can innovation become a core competency? Ask yourself a simple question; where did you learn to be innovative? If you're like most people, you never took a formal course on innovation. Few of us have learned to do it in any scientific way.

The reality is that innovation is most often the result of serendipity, persistence and lots of luck. But what if there was more? What if innovation could be taught? Guess what, it can be taught and it has been taught. The Innovation Master Class will do it for you!

There is so much talk about innovation lately that it has become a mantra throughout both the private and public sectors. If you’ve had it with the hype and rah-rah about innovation, you’ll want the nuts and bolts of HOW. If we are serious about taking the lead in innovation and reinvigorating the Wisconsin and U.S. economy, as well as the global marketplace, we need to stop singing innovation kumbaya and start delving into the practice and science of innovation.

What is the Innovation Master Class? A one-day workshop that will teach the latest methods and tools for creating world-class innovation skills. Tom has packaged as much learning as he can into this one-day master class. Can it be done in one-day? You bet!

Accelerate Keynote:
How do you Future Proof Yourself and your Enterprise?

As the outlook for the global economy gets progressively dimmer the light of innovation seems to shine even brighter. But wait, are we grasping at straws. Is innovation just another excuse to help us put off thinking about the real underlying problems that are driving economic uncertainty? It’s a fair question and one that all too often gets pushed aside in our rush to move onto the next great panacea. Join Tom as he takes a look at the real issues that are moving us towards a future of uncertainty and dramatic change and in the process pick up a hint or two about how to build the competencies you need to “Future Proof” yourself and your enterprise!
