Breakthrough!: What Wicked Problem Do You Want to Solve? 

This workshop is for leaders who have been searching for a way to bring fresh ideas to a difficult issue.  Utilizing the Breakthrough! model, this hands-on, 4-hour workshop will produce 100-200 ideas and give team members the opportunity to prototype the ones with the most potential for real breakthrough.  These breakthrough ideas will lead you to innovations that will truly make a difference to your team and organization.  For example, How do we generate more income?  How do we land more customers?  What new markets should we enter?  How can we make operations more efficient?  These are big problems that need fresh ideas!
