Discover some strategies you can use immediately to: 
1) Adapt to new challenges as an organization 
2) Keep everyone engaged in their work and in finding solutions 
3) Enhance collaboration and reduce conflict 
4) Successfully weather the storm

The Game Has Changed, The Audacious New Rules for Innovation, Keynote

For businesses both large and small, we are entering an unprecedented new era, It’s one in which the old skills and behaviors are no longer appropriate, in which the path to success has changed, in which individuals and businesses must learn to play the game in new ways. The good news is that this new game is more rewarding than the old one, both financially and personally. In this playful, interactive and innovative keynote, attendees will not only learn these new rules, they will practice applying them.

Clockwise Thinking, The Mindset of an Innovator, Keynote

We are all born innovators. We already have an innate ability to explore and experiment. Yet most of us have been conditioned to suppress those behaviors, both in ourselves and in how we lead others. This interactive keynote will give you fresh insights to enhance your team’s flexibility and mental agility, as well as your own ability to be creative and handle novel challenges. 

Building an Innovation Engine, Workshop  

Your leadership team is your most effective tool for promoting innovation…or for killing it. The climate your leaders set is the single most important factor in determining whether you have engaged employees and effective sustained innovation. This workshop will give those with supervisory responsibilities the tools and insights needed to meet that crucial challenge. 
 
Clockwise Leadership Retreats

Would your management team benefit from an intensive immersion experience to enhance their leadership skills? Dennis offers one and two day retreats to renew everyone’s commitment to innovation, while gaining powerful insights into how that can best be achieved. 
 
Clockwise Leadership Cohorts

When your objective is to achieve a shift in the overall culture of your organization or business unit, the approach needs to be equally ambitious. A single event, no matter how well designed and implemented is rarely sufficient. Dennis offers a series of half-day leadership cohorts (2-4 hours) at intervals of two to three weeks. This provides an opportunity for participants to actively apply what they’ve learned, as part of a sustained intervention.
