Going Beyond the Brainstorm

Going Beyond the Brainstorm: How to Turn Good Ideas into Great Achievements

In every workplace, people have good ideas for increasing efficiency, cutting costs, and strengthening their organization. But many of those ideas are never implemented. They’re thought about, talked about, and too often forgotten about.

This session supplies the know-how and skills to do things differently. It shows exactly how to move those good ideas beyond the idea stage, so they can generate positive results.

Through examples and hands-on activity, participants learn how to:

• Transform a vague vision into a compelling plan.
• Overcome the inertia of the status quo.
• Win over skeptics and fence-sitters.
• Create a team of enthusiastic advocates.
• Leverage and learn from unfolding success stories.
• Create a new momentum that favors change, so that future ideas are easier to develop and implement.

As a keynote or other talk, this presentation is equally effective at conferences and conventions (where the audience includes people from a variety of organizations) and at companies and agencies (where the entire group works for the same organization).

The workshop version, lasting a half day to two days, works best when all the participants are from the same organization. This expanded session makes greater use of dialogue, and it gives people the chance to apply the information to their common opportunities.
