Innovation for a Changing Environment
We have fewer resources and more demands, but we can’t simply work harder at what we’ve always done and expect to succeed. Instead, let’s embrace the future, learn the practices of innovation, and put the joy back in joining together! We’ll use real world examples to learn the nuts and bolts of the innovation cycle.
