Opening General Session Monday, October 18, 9:45 - 11:45 a.m. Everyone is creative, and the ability to think creatively is the one core human truth that will always remain relevant in our rapidly changing world. But haven’t we all been told that we’re not creative? So many times that we end up believing it. Unfortunately, our education and corporate structure have taught us that there is only one correct answer. But how will we survive if we keep doing “business as usual?” How can we embed a sustainable culture of innovation and creativity throughout our businesses? Leaning on 25 years with the Walt Disney Company, most recently as Head of Innovation & Creativity, Wardle will share case studies from his time at Disney. In addition, he offers series of unique design thinking, creative behaviors, and innovation tools that everyone can use to “Think Different” and solve real challenges in the marketplace.
