This moderated panel-style webinar will discuss how we can optimize our innovation processes, in our organizations and more importantly in our heads. Innovation is a choice, or rather a series of choices we make in every moment of our lives: how we choose to learn and imagine and take risks and gain insights, how willing we are to systematically update our own thinking. Moderators will also share insights so that attendees come away with information about how to apply their own unique innovation challenges, and how we will lead others to be their own best innovators.
