Your point of view is the basis for your way of thinking and by changing your perspective, you open the possibilities for new solutions.

BRAIN DRIZZLES - Do you need more creativity and innovation in your organization? Well, you don't need big, earth-shaking brainstorms, what you need are lots of little "brain drizzles." Brain drizzles are small, clever, incre-MENTAL changes that sometimes come from unexpected people and groups in your organization. The idea is to "cross pollinate." In this session, Mike will give you solid, real-world techniques for encouraging and implementing "brain drizzles" in your organization.
