Description:
Innovators are a special breed -- occurring somewhere between one in ten folk at small companies, and only one in five hundred in larger corporations.  And yet, even in the largest companies, a few individuals often account for the vast majority of successful new products.  Recent in-depth interviews and studies of singular innovators and innovative companies reveal two fundamental truths -- motivating the innovator is very different than the conventional wisdom, and getting the most for your company out of these rare individuals is more elusive than most managers would care to admit. 

This fast-paced two-day seminar will delve deeply into the innovative process, asking that you share your experiences with others in order to correlate your perceptions and history with these remarkable conclusions.  Participants will take home new tools for identifying, nurturing, managing, and motivating innovators.  In addition, the seminar will provide guidelines for organizational structures and resource allocation that enable a company to best take advantage of innovators’ strengths and shield the company from some of the issues that inevitably arise.

Who should attend:
R&D project and program managers, innovators, and staffing directors seeking more innovators for their companies.

Workshop Fees:
The cost includes all materials, breakfasts, coffee breaks, and snacks.
