Capturing the Innovator’s Spirit

innovation? Are you an innovator? Do you want to be an innovator? What does it take to be an innovator? Capturing the Innovator’s Spirit provides: An overview of
innovation. The innovation process. What it takes to be an
innovator. Overcoming resistance to innovation. Why innovators fail.
Program
Objectives: Characterize the scope and
complexity of being the innovator from a systems perspective.
Present a set of concepts and tools that can be applied in
formulating, evaluating, and implementing innovation ― as related to the innovator. Raise the importance of

that determine success or failure.
