The Museum Mentality: Focusing Your Organization on Inspiration and Innovation

Why do we give ourselves permission to be inspired at a museum, but not at work? Because we expect it at the museum. To drive innovation and growth in business we need to give that same permission, and create that same expectation, for the people in our organizations. The permission to inspire and be inspired.

Participants will:

• Learn how to become "curators" for innovation, editing the excellence of the world and bringing it to their organization to inspire innovation.
• Demonstrate the three museum mentality techniques to inspire your organization by delight, by design, and on demand.
