Innovation is changing the way we work, live, play, communicate and do business. Knowing the essential elements of a culture where innovation happens naturally will allow anyone to improve their abilities and creativity to succeed, and subsequently, become a proficient innovator.

Many perceived innovation to be risky and unpredictable. Decades of research and field work demonstrate that innovation is a discipline that can be mastered and managed.

Scott D. Anthony, Managing Partner of Innosight, one of the world’s best known Innovation Gurus, and Author of leading Innovation books, will share his unique perspectives on innovation based on his knowledge and experiences in building and investing in businesses, and advising some of the world’s most innovative companies. The conference will discuss innovation initiatives by presenting successful innovation case studies done by PH companies.
