Featured Speaker: Andy Stefanovich

Don't miss this great opportunity to hear nationally recognized innovation thought leader Andy Stefanovich discuss "The Museum Mentality: Focusing Your Organization on Inspiration and Innovation."

Why do we give ourselves permission to be inspired at a museum, but not at work? Because we expect it at the museum. To drive innovation and growth in business we need to give that same permission, and create that same expectation, for the people in our organizations. The permission to inspire and be inspired.

  • Learn how to become a "curator" for innovation, editing the excellence of the world and bringing it to your organization to inspire innovation.
  • Demonstrate the three museum mentality techniques to inspire your organization by delight, by design, and on demand.
