The traditional approaches to innovation don’t work. They create a lot of wasted energy and yield a low return.

Is there a way to improve your innovation ROI tenfold?
There is.

The answer is challenge-centered innovation. Instead of focusing on ideas, opinions, or suggestions, you focus on finding solutions to important business challenges.

In this free webinar, you will explore:

  • Don’t think outside the box, find a better box – reframe challenges in a way that leads to different and potentially better solutions.
  • Innovate where you differentiate – determine which challenges are most important and then cascade these priorities to the lowest levels of the organization.
  • Expertise is the enemy of innovation – By asking, “who else has solved a problem like this?” you can begin to find previously undiscovered solutions to your most pressing challenges.

Presented by: Stephen Shapiro (LinkedIn profile) is one of the foremost authorities on innovation culture, collaboration, and open innovation. His latest book, Best Practices Are Stupid: 40 Ways to Out Innovate the Competition, has been a featured speaker in media.

Establishing a PMO (Project/Program/Portfolio Management Office) is considered to be a best practice approach to improving the value an organization can receive from its project investments.

Why is it then, that a study, conducted in 2005, of 750 organizations worldwide indicated that over 75% of organizations that set up a PMO shut it down within three years because it did not demonstrate any added value?

Solution Q invites you to attend a webinar where you will learn key reasons why so many PMOs fail, and gain some valuable knowledge of the critical success factors required to ensure the survival of your PMO.

Who should attend this webinar?
Managers/Directors of PMOs, Project Managers
