“Sparking Innovation”
How to Turn Great Ideas Into Great Value
Intellectual property is a valuable asset that is often overlooked by companies and organizations, but could be a steady income stream that brings in money for years to come. Inventor and innovator Julie Austin shows you how to turn your employees into problem solvers, and how to profit from the great ideas they come up with. She gives examples of hospitals, credit unions, corporations, and non-profits who have tapped into their collective intellectual resources to generate a constant flow of income.
All innovation starts with great ideas. Some of the most important innovations in history were discovered by accident, such as penicillin. But there is a deliberate way to discover innovative ideas, whether it’s a new drug, a new product, new delivery systems, or new ways of doing business.
These are simple ideas and ways of thinking that will turn your whole staff into problem solvers. It doesn’t take any extra time away from their jobs, but instead is a problem solving mindset that will greatly improve your bottom line and employee morale. Your payroll is your biggest expense. Why not utilize the collective brain power you’re already paying for, and let your employees have some fun at the same time.
Your attendees will learn:
* How a janitor at Frito Lay accidentally invented one of their most popular products
* How 3 employees at the Rocket Chemical Company invented WD-40 and turned it into a multi-billion dollar business
* The story of how 3M kept all of their employees during the Great Depression, when most companies were laying people off, thanks to the invention of Scotch Tape
* How to build an innovation culture into your company
* Where to look outside of your industry for new ideas your competition will never think of
Julie Austin has trained scientists, engineers, and executives from around the world. As an inventor, patent owner, and international manufacturer, she knows how to instill the innovation mindset that will have your employees generating new ideas quickly.
Attendees will be excited about innovation, and will come back with hands-on knowledge they can use to solve problems, create new products & services, and learn new ways of doing business that will boost your company’s bottom line.
Innovating Within Your Competitive Advantage
All industries face it at some point…disruption. You may think your industry or your company is safe, but when you don’t look into the future and see what’s coming, and when you don’t constantly innovate, you risk the chance of being blind-sided by your competition, the economy, technology, the weather, government regulations, or customer tastes.
Innovation has become a vague buzz word these days. But if you start by innovating within what you do best, or your competitive advantage, you’ll be ready to change when you’re hit with disruption.
Innovation not only helps you avoid disruption, but also helps you to grow your business and stand out from the competition.
Inventor and innovator Julie Austin’s speech is based on 6 unique, innovative strategies you can use for marketing and branding to distinguish yourself and stay ahead of the curve.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
- Most important things you will need to compete in today’s hyper-competitive world
- How to leverage and monetize your assets through innovation
- How to work with your competition for a win-win
- How to infuse innovation into your company’s culture
