- The catalyst for and if there is a “secret sauce” that engages people in change/transformation
- Real life examples of change/innovation projects/initiatives that worked or failed AND what happened next!
- How to value innovation and resource it at any time but especially in the face of recession
- How you know innovation/change has become your new BAU, part of your culture, and not just a project
- The importance of developing leadership capabilities in achieving and championing innovation/change
