The Power of Innovative Leadership

Every organization says it values innovation. Far fewer know how to build a culture where it happens, or how to sustain it. Please join the Wharton Club of Boston for a candid conversation with four leaders from different sectors: digital transformation/technology consulting, higher education technology, state government, and live comedy. They will talk about what innovation looks like in practice, what roadblocks occur, and how to build creativity and growth. Learn about key benefits, real-world examples, and how these thought leaders use innovation to stay competitive.
