Sessions

As companies globalize – either through international corporate investment, mergers and acquisitions, direct export sales and distribution and marketing networks, or supply-chain relationships – the pressure is unrelenting to always have new products, fresh approaches, and ever creative responses that work well around the globe or can be adapted appropriately for local circumstances.  After participating in this session, you will understand the value of global innovation, which countries excel at it and why, what conditions need to exist for global innovation to thrive, and how do global managers – including HR practitioners  – show leadership in preparing everyone in their organizations to juggle culture, time zones and team dynamics to foster effective innovation.
