This is a half-day version of our Innovation Workshop, being held on the pre-conference day (Monday, November 2, 2009) of the Enterprise 2.0 Conference in San Francisco, CA. This course has been delivered to over 5,000 business professionals, and represents research of over 25 years into how to make the most effective innovation teams with or WITHOUT technology. As a recent interviewee on our IAM Talking podcast series said "Moving to virtual meetings isn't going to help if you currently suck at in-person meetings." There's more to Enterprise 2.0 than just technology, and at the heart of it all is empowered individuals and teams. Hope to see you in San Francisco, but if you can't make it, don't hesitate to get in touch to hear how we can bring this course or the full-day course to YOUR organization.
