May 18, 2012- GIIRT Breakfast: Make Organizational Change Happen with the “Patterns of Innovation”

May 18 GIIRT Breakfast: Make Organizational Change Happen with the “Patterns of Innovation”
Where:

Suite D 40 Executive Dr. Ste D Carmel, IN 46032 Driving Directions

When: Friday May 18, 2012 from 8:00 AM to 9:30 AM EDT Add to my calendar
Overcoming organizational stagnation is exhausting and difficult…. unless you know how to make small changes in the right places.
It’s all about recognizing the “Patterns of Innovation,” key triggers and symptoms that are common among effective, innovative workplaces.  Instead of expending energy by fighting an uphill battle, you can use tipping point leadership and a “heads up” mindset to create lasting, effective change.  Dr. Jan Byars will help May GIIRT attendees understand these patterns and begin utilizing simple techniques that begin turning ordinary individuals into agents of change.

 

The event will take place on May 18th from 8:00-9:30AM at Suite-D in Carmel. Registration costs $20 per registrant and includes breakfast, relevant learning, and access to some of Indianapolis’s most innovative minds.
