We’ve all heard the business quote ‘Innovate or die’ and heard cautionary tales of companies that failed to keep up with the times and fell by the wayside (I’m looking at you Blockbuster).

Innovation is one of the speech topics that we get asked about most frequently, and it’s no surprise. In a fast-paced digital world and a rapidly changing business environment, innovation remains key to businesses staying ahead and differentiating themselves from the competition.

How do you create a workplace culture to promote creativity and risk taking? How do companies emulate an agile, start-up environment? How do you identify and overcome roadblocks to innovation?

These keynote speakers are experts on innovation. Whether it’s developing new products & services, creating more efficient processes or promoting disruptive thinking, these keynote speakers are here to offer their own insights and experiences.
