We all understand that Innovation can be a non-linear process, especially on the front-end of new-to-the-world concepts.

It is often counter-intuitive to effectively implement processes that also enable or enhance Creativity and Innovation.

Most employees find Processes cumbersome and/or odious, particularly when they are not fine tuned or appropriate for the type of Innovation being introduced to the marketplace.

This Webinar will explore several examples of “Effective Process Implementation” that truly enabled Creativity and Innovation.
