  • Radical Readiness

    Conference

    Presented by John Morley, Principal, johnmorley.co

    Radically ready teams don’t just survive uncertainty, they thrive in it. They’re the rock stars, the ones who pull off the impossible, who consistently generate added value with the people and resources they already have. What’s their secret? Combining the horizontal and vertical. Horizontal development is about competencies—skills, knowledge, and expertise. Though essential, horizontal development alone isn’t enough for today’s complex challenges. Vertical development is about expanding capacities—for creativity, resilience, and navigating uncertainty with confidence and clarity. All of this can be taught, practiced, and implemented immediately. When sufficiently cultivated, people thrive, and organizations prosper.

  • Amplifying Human Ingenuity with AI

    Conference

    Presented by Paul Barnes-Hoggett, CTO & AI Optimist

    If AI produces middle-of-the-road outputs that are broadly pleasing to the majority, can it also be useful to develop work that shocks, outrages, and excites? How might teams use AI to push creativity to new places? And what role might AI play in acts of creative progress that at first might be shocking or unpopular? In this Lightning Talk, we hear how AI can be a net-enabler of radical acts of creativity— generating more fertile environments by giving teams access to a richer set of creative tools and by integrating AI into workflows to catalyze innovative thinking.

As companies push for employees to return to the office, let’s talk about how working remotely can actually enhance creativity. This session reveals key insights that challenge the myths of remote collaboration.

  • The Art of Daydreaming

    Conference

    Presented by Emily Koehler, Creative Director, Fortune Brands Innovations

    When was the last time you daydreamed at work? Audacious goals and aggressive timelines often mean we’re pressed to pay attention. Stay focused. Concentrate on the task at hand. Though some of the best ideas spring from minds that wander. How do we build and bolster corporate cultures where creativity rules? Where ideas conceived in the in-between spaces transcend the ordinary? We do it by embracing productive daydreaming. We empower our teams to be bold while also being intentional. We encourage minds to wander with purpose. And from there, we let the sparks fly.
