Innovation is Everyone’s Job

This speech shows customers how they can get involved in the innovation process and provides them with a systematic process for providing accurate and reliable ideas for new products and services.

Attendees learn . . .
How customers can partner for innovation.
How to obtain accurate and actionable customer input to create new and profitable new products and services.

Lean Innovation

This presentation is based working with senior leaders from around the world -- and in a matter of days, having them formulate, “test”, and validate new product and service ideas. It is kind of like a brainstorming session on steroids. Attendees have achieved phenomenal success using the Lean Innovation approach. Just last semester, in a course I co-directed, student teams formulated a new idea for a product or service and in only six weeks 31 student teams had their ideas accepted on Kickstarter (the largest crowd-funding site). Lean Innovation is based on the Probe-and-Learn theory I developed (published in the California Management Review) and represents a new paradigm to slash development time and cost by 50% or more while improving the overall success rate. The fundamental principle behind Lean Innovation is creating a “Protocept” (i.e., a “Minimum Viable Concept”) and taking these designs out to the marketplace early and often. The Minimum Viable Concept differs from what others call a minimum viable product. This keynote explains Lean Innovation and how do to it.

Attendees learn . . .
1. How to supercharge a new product or service initiative.
2. How to cut innovation time and cost by 50%.

Kickstart Your Career

Gary builds on getting 31 student teams accepted on Kickstarter and discusses how students can create their future vs. being dependent on someone or some company to hire them.

Innovation and Entrepreneurship

Anew way for universities and students to view their education - demonstrating several key ingredients to being a successful innovator/entrepreneur:
1) Not to Have an Entitlement Attitude; 2) Trying Something New;
3) Overcoming the Fear of Failure; and 4) The Power of Determination and Persistence.

Creating an Entrepreneurial Mindset

While not all students want to be an entrepreneur, having an entrepreneurial mindset can set them apart from others. This talk discusses this new movement and summarizes entrepreneurial thinking i.e.,
1) Being able to overcome obstacles;
2) Having an appreciation of the value of time;
3) Being competitive and having a desire to win;
4) Being profit motivated;
5) Being socially responsible and acting ethically;
6) Creating wealth for themselves and for society.

Creating an Innovative Culture

According to a recent Gallup survey, 70% of all employees are emotionally disengaged from their job and can actually be working against their employers' interests: they are less productive, more likely to steal from their companies, miss workdays and drive customers away. The cost of these disengaged employees is estimated to be $500 billion per year. A new keynote, by Gary S. Lynn, Ph.D. shows how companies can create an innovative culture, promote creative thinking in their employees, and nurture and harvest more of their employees’ ideas to produce a turbocharged, engaged and committed workforce.

Take Aways: You will learn . . .
1) How to be more innovative.
2) How to create a climate so employees want to bring their ideas to management.
3) How employees can package their idea to increase the chances of being accepted.
4) How to help your company become more innovative and successful -- one idea at a time.

At the end of the presentation, your company will receive one idea from 80% of your employees – right then and there.
