Innovate or Die at SVII
Innovation Seminars on Nov 16, Sand Hill Road, Menlo Park CA
MENLO PARK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Silicon Valley Innovation Institute (www.svii.org) is offering two powerful new seminars on Thursday, November 16, at 4:30 PM, at their Menlo Park facility on Sand Hill Road (see website map) that will interest executives in many disciplines, spanning the spectrum of technology and service companies to government and military entities, ranging in function from R&D to marketing, organization to administration, manufacturing to HR, finance to marcom. These are the men and women who are charged with helping their organizations innovate for survival and success in the 21st century — an era of accelerating change and increasing global competition.
From 4:30-6 PM, John Joss — a Silicon Valley communications innovator whose experience extends to Valley pioneers Ampex, Fairchild, H-P and Varian — will discuss the communications challenge in a time of unprecedented and increasing ‘noise’ in a proliferation of channels across every medium, print and electronic. He will expect strong participation from attendees. Says Joss: “Genuine communications, at any and every level, are interactive and make the difference between action and indifference, between success and failure.” He will review the problems and present solutions, in a wide-ranging discussion in which he invites dissent and discussion.
From 7-8:30 PM, Sue Lebeck, founding principal of Working-Arts (www.working-arts.com), will introduce “architecture for innovation, an emotion-informed model.” Participants will be invited to share their experiences and the creative work they have witnessed, successful or not, to map vs. a winning model, to refute or refine the model and jointly evolve specific ways in which creativity can be supported or maligned. Come prepared to share and investigate creativity that works, and how to translate creativity into functional, real-world developments.
The Silicon Valley Innovation Institute, headed by Bose and Apple innovator Howard Lieberman, is dedicated to helping organizations of every kind succeed through innovation. Its ‘Thursday evenings’ are attended by executives at all levels, from around the world. Attendance is free and refreshments are served.
