Innovate or Perish: It's Up to You...
Experiential conference: Rediscover that boldness that was yours, make your company sustainable and resilient! An awareness of the mechanisms and cognitive biases that unleash innovation, transformation, agility, and velocity. An experiential show that will mark you forever... This is Philippe Boulanger's 'signature' conference and a great place to start if you're wondering why your 'best practices' no longer work. Packed with thought-provoking content yet understandable for all audiences, this conference includes powerful interactive experiments to raise awareness of the mechanisms and cognitive biases that unleash innovation, transformation, agility, and velocity in a company. This is Philippe's most requested conference by well-established companies, a gateway to an innovative mindset. Impact: Rediscover and unleash the innovation potential of your teams. Typical content An introduction to the rapid acceleration of change through storytelling about humanity. Key message: 'The speed of change you see today is the slowest speed of change you will see for the rest of your life.' What makes a company successful in its innovation approach? Key message: 'A well-structured company fosters a culture of innovation by creating the space and ideal conditions for an innovative mindset to take root and grow.' Our brain leads us to limit our risks, contrary to our quest to expand our possibilities. Key message: 'We must understand how to manage the connection between our cognitive biases and innovation.' Always shrouded in a veil of mystery, innovation is a truly proven and relatively simple process where experimentation is key. Key message: 'Innovation is a risk-free, deterministic, and repeatable process. The greatest risk is not innovating.' A diversity of talents is necessary from innovation to operations. Key message: 'An excellent innovator struggles in operational activities, an excellent operator struggles to innovate.' Entertaining, interactive, and often fun experiments are integrated to powerfully illustrate these key messages and are the distinctive hallmark of Philippe's conferences. No spoilers here, the experiments have much greater value when they are not disclosed in advance.
