This webinar describes “How Leaders Create Innovation That Drives Growth—And Why Others Fail”

It’s easy for leaders to make visionary statements about the importance of innovation, but the real test is whether they have the will and know-how to make it happen.

That’s because innovation goes well beyond finding the next breakthrough.

Innovation requires a distinct business model that radiates throughout an entire organization, from operations to marketing. Innovation is driven by leadership and cascades down from there.

This Webcast explores the essential factors that lead to the creation of successful innovations and the leaders who champion them.

What You Will Learn:

Using stories and specific case examples, you’ll hear about the essential framework of innovation leadership, including:

• Understanding the four types of innovation, how they are defined and fit into the structure of your organization
• The style and skills needed to successfully lead in each of the four innovation environments
• How to create and activate innovative initiatives to drive profitable, long term top-line growth.
