Attend this session and explore Google's three guiding principles for innovation - ubiquity, transparency and agility - and learn how these principles can be relevant to your organization. 

Track: Talent Management

There is no step-by-step handbook for building an organization for innovation, but that doesn’t mean that you need to be left totally in the dark. Over the past decade, Google has embedded innovation into everything we do. By providing our employees access to information and giving them the freedom to move quickly, Google has built a culture that allows and encourages every employee, team and office to be innovative. Google has continued its growth through a series of new product developments, acquisitions, and partnerships. Environmentalism, philanthropy and positive employee relations have been important tenets during the growth of Google. This session will share our three guiding principles for innovation and will show how they can be applicable for your organization.
