Embracing Expansiveness: The New Innovation Edge
Expansiveness is about a holistic approach to strategy and engagement that embraces all of the unique skill sets, passions and idiosyncrasies of people. It is with this deeply human focus on what makes each of us tick, where we can start to create new possibilities by weaving our different perspectives together. Expansiveness provides the edge necessary for individuals, teams and organizations to innovate.
In this presentation, Abigail Posner takes the audience on a personal journey through business and life to share how seemingly disconnected ideas/passions/experiences can create powerful connections in our brain and lead to new discoveries. Abigail will share narratives from her background in social anthropology as well as her leadership practices at Google, and provide a roadmap for how every person within an organization can tap into their unique experiences to bring forth their best ideas. And ultimately, how managers can make the most of this diversity of talent through team development.
