Innovation isn't just the next big thing.It's the only thing.

Does your Organization have

it?

No more business as usual.

“ These are skills andtechniques that theaverage person — youand I — can learn.”Jeff DyerInnovator’s Accelerator Creator

Razor-thin margins. Increased global competition. A rollercoaster economy.The pressure to keep up with lightning-quick product development cycles.

And that deep bench you used to have to meet these kinds of challenges? Gone.

In today’s leaner, meaner organization, it’s all hands on deck. All the time.

Innovation's online learning is the key to creating and sustaining your competitive advantage in an uncertain world. In fact, without it, the results can be catastrophic. Think Blockbuster.Eastman Kodak. Hostess Brands.

TargetThe “hipster’s favorite bigbox chain” has grownthroughout the recession:from $59B in 2007 to $73Bin 2013.

Oil of OlayP&G purchased the company for$200 million in 1985 and completelyrenovated the product line. Today,the family of Olay brands representsabout $2.8 billion in sales.

Campbell’sIn 2001, Campbell’s lost 50% of its marketvalue compared to the previous year.After bringing in innovation-mindedleadership, it created products for themodern world—microwavable soups,vegetable and fruit drinks—and has hadyear-over-year sales growth for the lasteight years.

That’s because research makes it very clear that we are in a new era in whichtoday’s competitive advantage may become tomorrow’s albatross unless leadersmake innovation a strategic priority.

And paying lip service to innovation just doesn’t cut it. Because innovation is still anunnatural mindset in most companies (and most individuals), leaders can’t just hopethat innovation happens. It requires commitment, attention, and, most of all, action.

Doing the work it takes to embrace innovation may feel daunting. In fact, mostbelieve only a handful of people are blessed with the instinct and intellect to besuccessful innovators: Michelangelo. Edison. Jobs.

But we’ve got good news.

Innovators aren’t born.They’re made.
