Innovation Simplified: Why Simple Wins Imagine what you could do with the time you spend drowning in mundane tasks like meetings, reports, and emails? Complexity is holding most of us back from creating an innovative culture that embraces really valuable work. 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. If your organization is mired in meetings, emails, and reports, then that is what your culture will be known for; but, wouldn't you rather be known as the company where people are engaged in truly meaningful work every day? Lisa gives you the tools to make this a reality. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs. Some titles, such as Agile-related topics may qualify for other continuing education credits such as SEUs, or CEUs. Each professional development activity yields one PDU for one hour spent engaged in the activity. Some limitations apply and can be found in the Ways to Earn PDUs section that discusses PDU activities and associated policies.
