About the session

As Jeffrey Baumgartner once noted, ""even though management states that “Innovation is our number one priority” or ""creative employees are critical to our future success"", most employees feel that “Putting the financial projections for the third quarter into a nifty spreadsheet in time for tomorrow's division meeting is my number one priority” and innovation probably comes in at around priority number 50, after answering unimportant e-mails, tidying the desk and filing away that massive stack of papers on the desk""

If it's your responsibility to engage employees in innovation, this may sound frustratingly familiar. So, what can you do to change this? Join this roundtable conversation to hear possible solutions and practical suggestions from two experts in employee-driven innovation
