Most organizations strive to be innovative but very few know how to pursue such an intangible goal, much less measure it. Dale Carnegie recently performed extensive research on the major challenges to business growth and found that companies who pursued innovative approaches consistently outperformed the standard.
The Performance Excellence Network is pleased to welcome Roz Randorf, consultant Northern Minnesota, Dale Carnegie, to our November 15 Twin Ports PEN breakfast discussion: “Transcending Challenges with a Relentless Focus on EXPERIENCE INNOVATION.” The breakfast will be hosted by UMD, at the Kirby Center (information provided at registration).
Join us to understand how you can apply “Experience Innovation” at your organization and take advantage of the findings. You’ll take a deep dive into the research to understand key takeaways from the data. You’ll also hear examples of how other companies are innovating, and share concerns, challenges and questions with others.
