Innovation isn't

just the next big

thing.
It's the only thing.
Does your
Organization have
it?
No more business as usual.
These are skills and
techniques that the
average person you
and I can learn.

!a"or#thin margins. Increased global competition. $ rollercoaster economy.
The pressure to keep up with lightning-quick product development cycles.
And that deep bench you used to have to meet these kinds of challenges? Gone.
In todays leaner! meaner organi"ation! its all hands on deck. All the time.
Innovation#s online learning is the key to creating and sustaining your competitive advantage
in an uncertain world. In fact! without it! the results can be catastrophic. Think $lockbuster.

Thats because research makes it very clear that we are in a new era in which
todays competitive advantage may become tomorrows albatross unless leaders
make innovation a strategic priority.
And paying lip service to innovation (ust doesnt cut it. $ecause innovation is still an
unnatural mindset in most companies )and most individuals*! leaders cant (ust hope
that innovation happens. It requires commitment! attention! and! most of all! action.
+oing the work it takes to embrace innovation may feel daunting. In fact! most
believe only a handful of people are blessed with the instinct and intellect to be
successful innovators, -ichelangelo. %dison. .obs.
