Topics
1. The Medici Effect: Groundbreaking Innovation at
the Intersection of Disciplines and Cultures
What do goat milk, spiders, and fishing lines have in common?
Music records and airlines? Ant behavior and telecommunications
routing? Most of us would assume nothing. But out of each
of these seemingly random combinations have come radical innovations
that have created whole new fields. In this talk, Frans Johansson
takes us on a fascinating journey to the Intersection: a place
where ideas from different fields and cultures meet and collide,
ultimately igniting an explosion of extraordinary new innovations.
See how companies become global leaders, how products and
services yield huge margins, how researchers, managers and
artists outdo their peers. Prepare for a talk unlike any other
where Johansson will show:
- How
to find groundbreaking ideas by combining different fields
and cultures
- How
to make these intersectional ideas happen
- How
to think differently about the risks involved (hint: they
are not as great as you may think)
2.
Diversity Drives Innovation
The world is changing fast. More people than ever before are
moving between cultures and countries. Companies, cities,
even nations, must compete on a global basis just to stay
even. In this world, diversity has become the key driver for
innovation. Johansson explains how today's most innovative
companies form culturally diverse talent pools and teams as
a specific strategy to innovate. These companies have become
#1 brand leaders, R&D centers, and very profitable because
of the Medici Effect. He clearly and persuasively shows what
happens when different cultures collide and ignite an explosion
of extraordinary new discoveries. Johansson shows:
- Why
diversity drives innovation
- Why
diversity is critical for companies that want to innovate
- That
most companies are far from leveraging the diversity they
do have
3.
The Medici Executive: How to Break out of the Pack
Executives face more uncertainty than ever before - yet the
pressure to outperform keeps rising. Successful executives
find new markets and create new groundbreaking products, services,
policies and strategies. What are the requirements for such
an executive? In order to out-innovate their competition today's
executive must search for groundbreaking ideas where others
don't. They must be able to work with all kinds of people.
And they must be prepared to think differently abut risks
and failures in order to succeed. In this talk, Johansson
will show your audience how to:
- How
people become successful in generating groundbreaking ideas
- How
companies can foster Medici-thinking among their managers
and executives
- Think
differently about innovation, execution of ideas, and risk-taking.
