Improvising to Drive Results

In today’s complex and rapidly-changing environment, the challenges are bigger (and the stakes are higher) than ever. In order to achieve meaningful results – in both business and life – individuals and organizations must deploy spontaneous creativity to meet the challenges of the day. Innovation in real-time has become critical to success. As the evening’s keynote, author, VC, entrepreneur, and jazz-musician Josh Linkner will take the audience on an interactive journey to unleash their creative potential through the use of both business and musical improvisation. The session will inspire you and arm you with specific techniques which can become the difference-maker for your company and your career. The event will culminate with a live jazz improvisation performance based on input from the audience. A truly unique and compelling event that you won’t want to miss.

A successful entrepreneur and best-selling author, Josh Linkner bridges the gap between the arts and business to help audiences maximize their creative potential. He is on a mission to make the world a more creative planet by providing powerful, fun, practical techniques that push all levels of the business world to jumpstart their creative energies. Josh’s best-selling book, Disciplined Dreaming: A Proven System to Drive Breakthrough Creativity, was named one of the top 10 business books of 2011.
