  &lt;p&gt;Innovation is vital to a company’s success and very survival. But sometimes, innovation is placed on the back burner while companies focus on optimizing current process and perfecting current products and services. Even when we know how important it is to be innovative, we can feel overwhelmed and unsure of where to start.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Process is as important in innovation as it is in every other part of a company. The Innovation Process moves people through the steps necessary to turn vision into reality, and it can be applied anywhere innovation and improvement are needed. Having a defined process can also help us make proactive innovation a priority, so we are never scrambling to innovate reactively.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;In this class, we will identify and encourage idea of fluency and facilitate an Innovation Process that moves from possibilities to solutions. We’ll also talk about “innovation killers” and how to avoid them.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;At the end of this session, you will be able to:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;ul&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Become proactive instead of reactive to address changing business needs&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Recognize and encourage idea fluency with others&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Create a safe environment for the exchange and flow of ideas&lt;/li&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Use the innovation process for problem solving and continuous improvement&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;
