Peterborough: 02.24.21  *Virtual* Idea Generation in Action

The stats don’t lie. A large percentage of businesses do not make it past the first few years. Of the ones that do, only a small percentage end up surviving past 15 years. Many of those that survive have now plateaued or are in decline. Why? If you look at the most successful businesses throughout history, you will find a common formula. The businesses that have been able to rise to the top of their sectors and thrive throughout economic downturns, industry disruptions, or even a global pandemic were all built on a foundation of being customer centric and innovative. Building a company, an organization, a school, a church, or a team that reaches the level of customer-centric innovation (CCI) required to be a leader or disruptor in your industry—with long-term sustainable success—requires intention and a plan. This presentation will go into WHY CCI is important and then dig into the details of how to ensure your business is implementing effective innovation practices and principles. It is important for HR professionals to be aligned with leading and supporting a culture of innovation within their business to help set the company up for long-term success.

Learning Objectives

The 3 main areas of focus for all successful and sustainable businesses, 

the formula for ensuring your company is landing in the magic quadrant of CCI, and

how to design and lead a culture of innovation in your business
