Simplification is the solution, and every organization wants to know the techniques to help them eradicate complexity and get back to meaningful work that drives innovative change. Bodell inspires leaders and their teams to consider what it means to have an innovative company. It isn't about creating a culture of cool lounge areas with ping pong tables. More than anything, your culture will be predicated on the work people do every day.
