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

Why Passionate Leadership Matters Innovation is a commonly used buzzword, but it has lost a lot of value because of its ubiquity. What do we mean by innovation? What types of innovation are there? How can understanding the different types of innovation help us do better work? Market-creating innovations transform complicated and expensive products into products that are simple and affordable so that many more people in society can have access to them. In doing so, these innovations create a new market because they target non-consumers. Efosa Ojomo explains the critical role of market-creating innovations in not only serving as new growth engines for companies, but also as a foundation for sustained economic development of a region. Using theories and models developed by Professor Clayton Christensen and his team, Ojomo demonstrates how innovations that create new markets impact peoples' lives, and challenges us to change how we think about innovation in our organizations.
