Nurturing a Culture of Innovation
Innovation derives from a need or desire to do something better, different and first. Most organizations are striving to find ways to increase their efficiency, make things easier and faster and deliver to their clients making them feel delight, certainty and trust.
Without nurturing a culture of innovation one can achieve some of the above elements, but not all.
A culture of innovation requires psychological safety, clear processes and an environment where people are accountable and encouraged to take initiatives. At the individual level, you need people who thrive in such environments and can develop their mindset of growth and innovation.
Have a look at some of the most successful organizations. They all have one thing in common. They’ve managed to nurture a culture of innovation.

The Art of Problem Solving, Risk Taking and Change
The word risk is like a red siren that warns about danger, loss, disgrace, or even death. It’s fearsome because there’s a level of uncertainty in it, where we might face bad consequences if things don’t go smoothly.
Change projects are more likely to meet their objectives when those affected by the change have a clear understanding of what to expect in terms of the project’s goals, logistics, and rewards. It is equally important, however, to prepare the participants for any emotional shifts that might occur in themselves or others as a result of the project.
Change requires time and is perpetual. If rushed, the infrastructure will most likely collapse or best-case scenario the organization will lose its focus and waste valuable time and resources to an unsuccessful endeavor.
This keynote provides a tested and proven practical framework of dealing with change while taking into account the emotional cycle of change that most organizations tend to neglect.
