Seven Ways To Promote Innovation in Your Marketing Program

This event is over.

Innovation is more than a buzz word; it is an absolute necessity if you are to keep pace with change. But let's face it; it is hard to take time for something that doesn't deliver a guaranteed result. Innovation can be sloppy, inefficient, and down right inconvenient if not managed properly. This webinar will offer 7 proven ways to get value from an innovation effort. These will include; ways to get an idea when you want one, ways to involve key players in the creative process so that ideas are embraced rather than resisted, ways others have found time and space for their creative effort.  In a case study rich presentation attendees will get tips and tricks for being truly successful in building an innovation friendly business environment.
