Session Title: Everyone's an innovator: Why innovation requires more than "creatives"
Are you interested in innovation or have an idea, but don’t consider yourself the “creative” type? Feeling uncertain about how to keep the momentum up on an idea in your organization?
It turns out, there’s far more to innovation than just re-organizing your team, re-designing your building, or re-structuring your incentives. Innovation is not a one-size-fits-all endeavor and requires different capabilities (at all different levels) across the organization. At PA, we’re a firm of over 2,600 technologists, innovators, go-getters, strategists, leaders, developers. Our backgrounds range from finance and engineering to theology and art! Join us as we explore the variety of innovation capabilities required to get an idea off the ground (PA stories included!) and leave feeling more confident in keeping up momentum within your organization.
