Unlocking Innovation in Your Organization

According to a recent study, more than 60 percent of CEOs cite the need to discover innovative ways of managing their organization’s structure, finances, people, and strategies as their top priority. In order to compete in the 21st century, organizations must rethink how they function—they must adapt or die. Derek Neighbors shows you how to meld chaos, creativity, and collaboration within your organization to unlock innovation. Learn how to balance fun and excellence to achieve results while redefining your organization's culture. Many models try to explain what complex systems might look like or how to determine what kind of culture an organization may need. Walk away with real-life stories of how teams, organizations, and even cities are transforming themselves for the future. Apply what you learn to your own product, team, and organization as Derek helps you learn how to evolve for the future.
