An open conversation among innovators, all together and in subgroups, to imagine ways to partner with your leaders on innovation –rather than fight for their attention too early or too late in the process. We'll question the perceptions, the roles, the change you can do to get leaders on-board ealy on etc. Take part in the conversation if you would like: - to create the conditions for your leaders to understand and support your role and your initiatives - to focus more on your mission and less on internal politics - and eventually to have more freedom in exploring ways to meet your company's expectations. We will break the session into 3 steps, for you to identify what is happening, share in subgroups and gather your insights.
