Keynote by Kaiser Yang:
A proven innovation framework to drive growth, performance, and transformation.
This keynote serves leaders & teams who are:
Aware of the need to innovate but having a hard time getting started.
Feeling pressure to generate breakthroughs but struggling to deliver them.
Responsible for creating a culture of innovation.
The audience will leave with:
The mindsets, habits, and tactics of the world’s most prolific artists, business titans, and entrepreneurs.
Inspiring and memorable stories that show how inventive thinking can lead to breakthrough results.
Creative confidence to tackle challenges and seize new opportunities.
Overview:
The pressure to generate large, transformative ideas can feel overwhelming. We know that bold innovations are critical in these disruptive and competitive times, but when it comes to breakthrough thinking, we often freeze up. That’s why the most prolific innovators focus on micro-innovations – small, creative acts that unlock massive rewards over time. Instead of shooting for a $10 billion IPO or a Nobel Prize, the most successful innovators passionately believe that innovation does not have to be big to be meaningful.
The 5 Core Mindsets of Innovators is an energizing, high-impact keynote that provides a practical and actionable framework to unlock dormant creative capacity and discover micro-innovations. Instead of wild, risky, and expensive moonshots, participants learn how to unleash small, daily acts of creativity that drive measurable results and help build a sustainable competitive advantage. In this inspiring and energizing keynote, award-winning author and globally-recognized innovation expert Kaiser Yang dispels the myth that innovation only applies to a select few and reinforces the need to innovate at all levels, in all roles, and shares the mindsets and techniques leveraged by some of the most prolific ‘everyday innovators’ in the world.
