Making Innovation Happen
Overview
Every strategic plan calls for innovation, but this buzzword rarely comes with clear guidance. This is especially true in the municipal and public sectors, where resources are limited and mandates are complex.
Making Innovation Happen shows leaders how to put innovation into practice in their organizations. Delivered as a Signature Session — a highly actionable, full-day learning experience — this event is led by industry-recognized innovation consultants. It introduces you to practical tools and frameworks that help you explore barriers to change, test new solutions to existing problems, and start building a culture of innovation. The next time you talk about innovating, you’ll know exactly how to get started.
