CREATIVITY AND INNOVATION IN BUSINESS
The primary purpose of leadership is to give your customers the ability to do what they can’t do but would have wanted to do if only they knew they could have done it. Henry Ford always said if he had asked his customers what they wanted, they would have asked for a faster horse. (Daniel Burrus)
Anamaria Wills, award winning CEO of leading creativity and innovation business CIDA International, talks about the difference between creativity and innovation and how innovation is the essential life blood of companies in the 21st century. Drawing on examples of clients ranging from the BBC to Chartered Accountancy, she illustrates how the innate creative capacity of any company’s workforce is the most vital element in a leader’s toolkit for success.

DATE: 20 October 2010. Time: 1730. Venue: Jameson Hotel, Zambezi Room.
