The Innovative Mindset
8 Mindsets of the World’s Most Innovative Companies
Embarking on an innovation journey is no easy task. If it were, everyone would be doing it. Determining whether you have an innovative mindset—and if not, what you need to do to get there—is the first step. Through Dirk’s research of some of the world’s most innovative large and mid-market businesses, he has identified eight mindsets that innovative businesses and their leaders share and that have driven their success. In this inspiring and motivational presentation Dirk will detail the eight mindsets and the philosophy behind them, along with case studies you’ll immediately learn from.
Each attendee will have the ability to take an online Innovative Mindset Assessment before or after Dirk’s presentation to enhance their learning and identify their individual innovative mindset score.

Leading Change in Disruptive Times
We are living in disruptive times. In fact 76% of business leaders surveyed believe we are living in an environment we could call the age of disruption. Leaders are challenged by the constant pressures that come at them from all directions. The pressures could be competitive from the marketplace, or come as a result of new government regulations, shifting demographics, the accelerating pace of technology, and more. Navigating these big shifts to create a sustainable and relevant business has become the new mandate.
Today’s transformative leaders will seize the moment by making sense of the disruptive forces and crafting a narrative and strategies that unite their organization around the why, how, and what of change.
In this keynote presentation, Dirk Beveridge will outline the new rules, models, and tools leaders must adopt in disruptive times. Among The Lessons Shared:
- The disruptive wheel of change and what transformative leaders must do to control their organization’s destiny.
- Why and how transformative leaders develop a “Peering Into The Future” disposition as they compete for the future.
- How a well crafted vision becomes a unifying force that drives change.
- What transformative leaders do to root out mediocrity and foster a culture of excellence.
