CBI December 2017

Today, though many companies focus intensely on innovation, few of their efforts actually succeed, observes Lisa Bodell, the founder of futurethink, and a keynote speaker at IHRSA 2018. Bodell’s prescription: “Create space for change.” She details the process in “Kill the Company: End the Status Quo, Start an Innovation Revolution,” her MYZONE-sponsored presentation.

“Despite our best intentions, most efforts at innovation fall flat simply because the business itself was designed to prevent it. While we encourage creativity, we exist within a system that’s built to discourage it.”
