With technology moving so fast and disruption the norm\, being an innovative organization is fundamental to your organization’s very s urvival.\n\nThe problem is that while change is constant and fast\, innova tion requires ideas and adoption. Ideas are sporadic and adoption is slow. \n\nThat’s why true\, sustainable institutional innovation isn’t about waiting for ideas to strike\, it’s about actively implementing an inclu sive innovation process that incorporates effective technology management\ , finding opportunities\, gaining executives’ buy-in\, and moving forwar d with our best ideas. It is important to avoid distractions (financial co ncerns\, internal power struggles\, finding the “big idea”) so we don ’t overlook opportunities around us. We should enact the leadership capa ble of piloting our organization to success so that our capabilities keep pace with market realities and emerging opportunities. This means tapping into the genius of each employee for new product ideas and then providing the leadership that fosters the trust and collaboration needed to bring th ose ideas to fruition.\n\nLearning Objectives:\n\n- Discover the three hid den barriers to sustainability that hamper organizations.\n- Learn four st eps for activating employees to identify emergent opportunities.\n- Take a way five principles leaders can implement to support sustainable innovatio n.\n\nSpeaker(s): Leslie Martinich\, Karen Koepp\n\nAgenda: \n6:30 PM: san dwiches/drinks and networking time\n\n7:00 PM: Introduction and talks\n\n8 :00 PM: Q&A and discussion\n\nPlug and Play Tech Center\, 440 N Wolfe Road \, Sunnyvale\, California\, United States\, Virtual: https://events.vtools .ieee.org/m/390912 LOCATION:Plug and Play Tech Center\, 440 N Wolfe Road\, Sunnyvale\, Califor nia\, United States\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/390912 ORGANIZER:edcheng@ieee.org SEQUENCE:67 SUMMARY:Achieving Organizational Sustainability Through Innovation and Lead ership URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/390912 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>(in-person at 6:30 PM\; WebEx at 7:00 PM) &nbsp\;&nbsp\;</p>\n<p><strong>In-Person Location:</strong> Plug and Play Tech Center\, 440N Wolfe Road\, Sunnyvale<br /><strong>WebEx Link:</strong > https://ieeemeetings.webex.com/ieeemeetings/j.php?MTID=ma3b0395153026d29 967b91b09408bdd1<br />Meeting number: &nbsp\; &nbsp\;2535 755 7615<br />Me eting password: &nbsp\; &nbsp\;ySQ34He3n8R</p>\n<p><strong>Join by phone:< /strong><br />+1-415-655-0002 United States Toll<br />1-855-282-6330 Unite d States Toll Free&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>SUMMARY: Everyone &ndash\; at every leve l &ndash\; wants to believe that their organization will be able to keep u p with constant industry change.
