The Innovation Trifecta® Accelerator
Are you experiencing one of these situations?
Your creative, technical, and business experts are not all running at the same speed towards the same future.
You feel like you have landed in Japan and are speaking French trying to communicate across technical, creative, and business teams. (speaking slower or louder isn’t working!)
Your future growth depends on both brilliant ideas and flawless execution, but not everyone sees or prioritizes that.
Too much leadership time is spent in the wrong time zone, stuck in the 30-day-danger-zone of current demands vs. imagining and creating your future business.
A communication bubble exists around the leaders or leadership team, like oil and water the two versions of the truth repel each other.
Decisions are not clear, may not stick, take too long or get made and then undone.
Your competition and your industry is evolving at a faster rate than you are and you need reinvention.
If so, you will benefit from The Innovation Trifecta® Accelerator Program, contact me today to discuss your specific company goals and I will develop a customized program unique to accelerating results in your business.
