It used to be that the status quo was the way to go. It kept your company running. And it kept you employed. But in a world that changes at the speed of a TikTok, standing still makes you a sitting duck. Volatility lurks around every corner. Startups have become rock stars. Founders are celebrities. Customers are fickle. Employees are leaving. Disruption is inevitable. But if anyone’s going to disrupt your industry, your company, or your team, shouldn’t it be you?

As the world’s leading Innovation Architect and the CEO of RE:Think Lab, Carla Johnson has been breaking the status quo all her life. In over 20 years of working with leaders, she’s learned that the safest bet is often the riskiest move. Through extensive research and authoring numerous bestselling books, Johnson has developed frameworks and processes that teach people how to redefine what innovation means in their company, and then equips teams to make innovation everybody’s business.

Johnson’s approach transforms organizations by fusing visionary creativity with pragmatic innovation strategies to inspire teams to think bigger and bolder so they can bust out of the status quo. The result is a company culture that becomes a playground of limitless potential while also experiencing unprecedented alignment and growth.
