Free Virtual Keynote on Innovation Culture – June 6, 2014

Pipeline 2014 Conference

If your innovation culture leaves something to be desired and its your job to make it better, then come join me online at Pipeline 2014 for my FREE keynote on June 6, 2014 and find out five actions you can take to change your innovation culture for the better.
Here is a description of the session:

When it comes to innovation, far too much emphasis is placed on creativity, ideas and products. Innovation requires more than ‘aha’ moments. Innovation is a team sport, not an individual one, and while it may be easier for our reptilian brain to understand a single innovation hero, the truth is that every innovation figurehead from Steve Jobs to Thomas Edison had a whole lab or team of people behind them making the real innovation happen. In this session we will investigate what it takes to build a successful team of capable innovation practitioners and contributors that will effectively form a strong and sustainable innovation culture to power success for the organization, not just for the moment, but for the lifetime of the organization.

And here is some information on this FREE virtual conference:

If you’re not familiar with the Pipeline Conference, it is a virtual conference with more than 4,000 participants from 95 countries over the past four years. PIPELINE offers product development practitioners access to experts as well as practical information they can use right away – all from the comfort of their desks. From idea to launch to end-of-life, the content will appeal to any professional involved in the end-to-end product development process. In addition, the newly designed PIPELINE virtual platform serves as a resource center for 12 months following the live event with new content each quarter.

People who register for the conference get a free access to the resource center. PIPELINE 2013 was named Event of the Year category in Best in Biz Awards for virtual conference on innovative product development. For more information and to register, visit:

Build a Common Language of Innovation for 2014

Build a Common Language of Innovation for 2014As the end of 2013 approaches, why not give your employees and your organization the gift of innovation for 2014?

One of the biggest keys to innovation success is building a common language of innovation.

From creating a definition of innovation unique to your organization, to creating an innovation vision, strategy, and goals, a common language of innovation will accelerate the speed and effectiveness of your innovation efforts by aligning everyone’s understanding of what innovation means to your organization and how you plan to achieve it.

One way that organizations around the world are doing this, is to acquire my book Stoking Your Innovation Bonfire in bulk quantities to help their organization create a common language and understanding of innovation.

In addition to helping organizations identify and remove barriers to innovation, Stoking Your Innovation Bonfire also serves a great innovation primer and a good way to get everyone on the same page.

If you’d like to align and accelerate your innovation efforts going into 2014, consider:

  1. Making a bulk order of Stoking Your Innovation Bonfire from Hooks Books (an independent minority woman-owned bookseller) or 800-CEO-READ (for customized orders) to hand out as gifts
  2. Introducing the Nine Innovation Roles into your organization
  3. Contacting me about my elearning offerings (Level 1 GIMI Innovation Certification eLearning Coming Soon!)
  4. Booking me for a keynote speech, workshop or masterclass – Book Now

Keep innovating!
