The traditional approaches to innovation don’t work. They create a lot of wasted energy and yield a low return.

Is there a way to improve your innovation ROI tenfold?
There is.

The answer is challenge-centered innovation. Instead of focusing on ideas, opinions, or suggestions, you focus on finding solutions to important business challenges.

In this free webinar, you will explore:

• Don’t think outside the box, find a better box – reframe challenges in a way that leads to different and potentially better solutions.
• Innovate where you differentiate – determine which challenges are most important and then cascade these priorities to the lowest levels of the organization.
• Expertise is the enemy of innovation – By asking, “who else has solved a problem like this?” you can begin to find previously undiscovered solutions to your most pressing challenges.

Presented by: Stephen Shapiro (LinkedIn profile) is one of the foremost authorities on innovation culture, collaboration, and open innovation. His latest book, Best Practices Are Stupid: 40 Ways to Out Innovate the Competition, has been a featured speaker in media.
