Deciphering a Learning Mindset: How It Supports an Innovative Company Having a learning mindset in today's environment is essential. With technology growing at an exponential rate, it is harder than ever for companies and individuals within companies to keep ahead of the curve (the fight to keep your skills, and hence your products up-to-date and relevant). This idea is very prevalent in certain communities such as technical ones, and not much so in leadership communities but it is the leaders that set the tone for the company. In this talk, Toby Newman will explore how leaders can drive success and innovation through a learning mindset. To have a true learning mindset, you have the responsibility to share back your new insights within an organization. This is where good leaders become great ones. This is where innovation really gets going. As leaders you have an extra responsibility as you set the tone and environment for this sharing to happen.

You Design Think More Than You Know Today's world is very volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous. What used to work, seems to work less efficient or effective. The pandemic shows us that the consequences in daily life can be huge. For some of us, this means confusion and struggle to find solutions to problems. Others reflect on what is happening and reframe this VUCA world as an opportunity for creating new products, services of systems. Start to think as a designer. Designing solutions serves users and customers. Real human beings with names, moods, needs and problems. We sometimes forget, because while creating solutions we fall in love with them. Our attention focuses on the solution. Design thinking has made empathizing with the customer one of the main anchor points. You always remember for whom you are designing and creating. How many ideas would you need to find the one that fits the problem of your user? Ten, a hundred or maybe more? The answer is, more than you think now. Start with questioning the problem. Play and collect different perspectives on the problem. Every single perspective leads to different ideas. In this way you easily reach a great number of solutions. We will share a few relevant, creative exercises so you can challenge your own dominant reaction to solving problems. Having this personal experience will help you to adopt a design thinking mindset to help your clients. What You Will Learn: Introduction to Design Thinking Two Exercises to change your perspectives on problems and solutions Reflection on one's own thinking system How to reframe constraints as valuable opportunities to find creative solutions

Leading Minds, Fueling Innovation: Leadership in an Increasingly Neurodiverse World Neurodiversity is a biological fact-the normal diversity of the human brain-and data suggests up to 1 in 4 individuals are Neurodivergent beyond that of a societal 'norm,' commonly labelled as ADHD/ADD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Anxiety Disorders, among others. Some of the greatest innovators of our time were and are Neurodiverse; however, many of today's organizational cultures and leadership methods are not supportive of the employment, retention, and development of Neurodiverse talent. This means that many brilliant, innovative minds are inadvertently being kept from the table of innovation, slowing the pace of progress. In an increasingly Neurodiverse world, how can top leaders and organizations ensure that ALL minds have a seat at the table of innovation? Join this session to learn about the world of Neurodiversity and how you can lead mind-first toward supporting innovation and well-being in your people, products, and customers! The history of Neurodiversity and its influence in the world. Reasons organizations should act now to ensure a competitive edge. What it means to lead mind-first and how it empowers a healthier workforce, a more inclusive culture, and more innovative products.
