Innovate Now or Be Left Behind

Being part of an industry that is driven by innovation, you know that without embracing creative thinking and innovative strategies within your organization and with clients, you risk standing behind those who have made the commitment to think differently in challenging times.   Some think of this economy as an obstacle, the visionary in our midst think of the environment as an opportunity to stand out now or prepare for the future.

The Creative Problem Solving Institute (CPSI) is coming to Boston from June 21-24, bringing together a range of individuals from around the world that will spark your thinking in ways you have never thought.  It is not your typical conference.  CPSI was founded by Alex Osborn, the inventor of Brainstorming and Creative Problem Solving (CPS), and the cofounder of advertising firm BBDO.  You will learn Creative Problem Solving to help you explore new products, services, business models, operational procedures and how to do more with less.

Join us as we welcome Dean Kamen - Segway Inventor and founder of the FIRST Robotics Competition, Sarah Miller Caldicott - great grandniece of Thomas Edison and author of Innovate Like Edison, and Keith Sawyer, author of Group Genius as our keynote speakers.
