Michael’s workshop discussed how the rules of the game have changed, and how we live in a time of disrupt or be disrupted.  It has never been more important for organisations to be innovative, resilient and self-disruptive.  But how do we remain relevant and create a culture of innovation and more importantly embed it in to all levels of the organisation?

This workshop unpacked the key principles for creating an innovative culture in a case study style that discussed:

  • The key steps to create an innovative corporate culture
  • The role of leaders and managers in fostering innovation
  • How to embed an innovation and growth mindset

Michael shared his experiences both professionally and from his studies at the University of Oxford.
