Innovation
Cannonballing into the swamp.
Innovation Training Course Description
(4 hours)
Innovative ideas often are met with skepticism and resistance, but where would we be without them? Innovative thinking moves business – and life – forward. It doesn’t have to be a world-changing idea like a match or an automobile or a smartphone or a chicken sandwich.* It can be smaller game changers in your department, your clients or your business.
But that doesn’t always come easy. Most great things are difficult and messy and seem strange. Imagine what the poolgoers thought of that first epic cannonball. Bet they called that guy a troublemaker. Fortunately, that kind of cannonball thinking is what leads to cooler and better stuff – stuff we didn't even know was possible.
*Disclaimer: This stuff could be obsolete by the time you read this, except maybe the chicken sandwich.
