I n this day and age, innovation is key. The
competitive advantage comes through a
corporate culture entrenched in creativity and
the desire to improve current processes. Due to
the longstanding structures of more established
corporations, developing and maintaining an
atmosphere of open discussion is more difficult
than in a newer startup space. But how can you
infuse a similar creative energy into your team’s
innovation development? CONTACT US OR SCHEDULE A DEMO

Turn ideas intoground-breaking solutions
F O R T H E E N T I R E T E A M
The companies that have done the best over the long haul are those who are the most creative and innovative. These organizations don’t copy what others do; instead, they may use innovative ideas from others as a springboard to come up with a unique application, product, or service for themselves. They tend to distance themselves from the competition rather than compete with them.3

Drive corporate innovation through personal disruption
F O R M A N A G E R S , G E N E R A L S T A F F , & C - S U I T E ( O P T I O N A L )
The key is to focus on perception, which leading neuroscientists find is intrinsically linked to creativity in the human brain. To perceive things differently, we must bombard our brains with things it has never encountered.4
P E R S O N A L D I S R U P T I O N :
Pursuing a disruptive course isn’t just a nice thing to do, there’s a compelling business case: the odds of success are 6x higher and the revenue opportunity is 20x greater. And the most fundamental unit of disruption is the individual.

Ensure that your team is delivering
F O R S E N I O R L E A D E R S H I P , M A N A G E R S , & C - S U I T E ( O P T I O N A L )
Companies that have institutionalized, formal innovation-management systems are almost twice as likely to say they were very satisfied with their initial idea-generation abilities. Additionally, businesses with a formal system in place are 75 percent more likely to define their innovation strategy as delivering a competitive advantage, twice as likely to introduce a new business process or model, and 35 percent more likely to say they are typically first to market with new products or services.2

Connect workers to the values of innovation
F O R C - S U I T E , S E N I O R L E A D E R S H I P , & M A N A G E R S
Quantifying an “innovation target for growth,” and making it an explicit part of future strategic plans, helps solidify the importance of, and accountability for, innovation. The target itself must be large enough to force managers to include innovation investments in their business plans.5

Build community to ensure constructive conversation
F O R M A N A G E R S & G E N E R A L S T A F F
An essential component of collaboration is that each team member operates with the intellectual integrity to acknowledge a personal agenda or instinct is being promoted over the team’s objectives, and the rigor to refocus on the dialog that moves the team toward solving the problem. This means that no one can entirely dismiss collaboration - it’s either done well or done poorly.1
C O L L A B O R A T I O N , P A R T N E R S H I P , A N D T H E I M P O R T A N C E O F A N O P E N B R A I N S T O R M :
You used to know how to argue. You weren’t afraid of it. A good argument leads to good outcomes, but you lost that ability when you became overrun by political correctness, liability, and litigation. Those hold you back from greatness and leave you at mediocrity.

Spearhead a collaborative space in your office
F O R T H E E N T I R E T E A M
Perhaps the most important principle of collaboration is that it can make the world a better place. Sure, collaboration can make our employee more productive and benefit our customers. But collaboration also allows employees to feel more connected to their jobs and co-workers, reduces stress at the workplace, makes their jobs easier, allows for more work freedom, and in general makes them happier people.6

David Gise connects dots. In Dave’s world, these dots include everything from people to organizations to opportunities to ideas. For the first 18 years of his career, Dave connected people to healthy lifestyles as a personal trainer and managing partner in a health club. He then turned his attention to the tech world, where he connected new ideas to help solve new (and old) problems, launching four successful technology start-ups. From there, he connected his biggest dots yet – the Centre for Social Innovation in Toronto with his hometown of New York City (ask him to tell you the story if you see him, he loves telling it!).
Dave now presides over the dots at CSI NYC as Managing Director, where he’s committed to connecting nonprofits and social entrepreneurs to the supports they need to create lasting change. By the time Dave’s done, there will be no more lonely dots - just a web of connections criss-crossing the world.

As a small business working in a competitive industry, Twain Financial is constantly striving to improve our customer service. We engaged Geniecast, specifically Shep Hyken, to provide a training through their platform. The feedback from the 40 employees who attended the session was overwhelmingly positive. The location worked great – just walking into our conference room for an hour -, the technology and interaction with the Genie was seamless and the presentation provided meaningful benefit that will be used at our company going forward. We are currently working with Geniecast to schedule a second training focusing on sales techniques. We highly recommend the platform.

I was thrilled with the new knowledge our team gained from David’s presentation. His discussion has led to numerous task forces addressing outdated procedures, and new initiatives that we feel will create improvements to our success rates, retention rates, and the experience our employees have in our companies.
We had such a powerful meeting with Sue, she really is an amazing human. The Geniecast was great! Robin had everything set up in her house and so we were ready to go for Sue.
The Thought Leadership Labs were a wonderful success and a large part of that was due to your team. Thank you for all for the excellent work!
The Geniecast Team produced a top-notch event for our sales team, and the two-way video format made for a personal and engaging experience for everyone.
