SPEAKING HIGHLIGHTS




Interactive Keynote Presentations

Keynotes from world-‐renowned innovation expert, Lisa Bodell, trade the PowerPoint presentation for the WOW factor. She engages audiences with experiential methods for sharing, collaborating and thinking. Participants are armed with tactical tools, tricks, and resources to start innovating immediately.

KEYNOTE TOPICS

1. Kill the Company: End the Status Quo, Start an Innovation Revolution Winning innovators embrace change—do you? What holds you back from better innovating, every day? In too many organizations, we’re stuck in the land of status quo. We’ve forgotten how to think differently, and lack the simple tools to solve problems creatively. The very structures put in place to help organizations grow are now holding us back. So, it’s time to Kill the Company! This keynote is an inspirational call to arms: to start a revolution in how we think and how we work.

The key lesson of this keynote: if we want people to approach change differently, we have to change our approach. You will learn how simplification lets us achieve more and better innovation. This can reignite critical aptitudes such as curiosity, inquiry, creative problem solving, and more.

The keynote will bring to life the concepts presented in Lisa’s latest book, Kill the Company:

1. Everyone is a change agent. 2. Change involves a toolkit, not a process. 3. Little changes can create big impact.

Lisa will introduce tangible ways to ignite innovation through the dynamic, yet simple exercises in the Kill the Company Toolkit, including Kill a Stupid Rule, Killer Queries, Impossible to Possible, and many more. You will leave this keynote with ways to eliminate needless complexity with simple, inspiring ways to make innovation happen now!




2. Little BIGS®: How Small Changes Create BIG Impact Dismiss the notion that innovation requires large corporate overhauls and change initiatives. Extensive and expensive initiatives rarely work and tend to exhaust—not inspire—employees. To get people to approach change differently, we must change our approach. Instead of top-‐down mandates, it’s the small things—the “Little BIGS”—that ignite powerful behavior change.

The Chocolate-‐on-‐the-‐Pillow approach—“Little BIGS”—uses action-‐based tactics. When individuals and teams start leading by example, they create opportunities for people to witness and embrace positive behaviors and change firsthand. Using examples of small changes with huge ripple effects, this keynote walks participants through the bite-‐sized approach to revolution.

Lisa inspires audiences through real-‐life examples, such as the large financial services organization that created a new breed of employee and helped reset the corporate culture. Little BIGS will come to life through concepts like Kill a Stupid Rule; Outside In; Do the Unexpected; Empowerment Rules; and Get Out.

Participants will take away tangible and actionable steps to shake up their organization’s standard practices—from unproductive meetings to go-‐nowhere strategic planning—and result in a powerful boost to innovation. They will gain understanding of the Little BIGS that will reinvent their own organization; awaken their ability to think; and ultimately, to reinvent the future.
