Don't miss the much anticipated Keynote presentation: Permission to Think "Outside the Can": Leader as Curator of the Innovation Culture
Innovation is not just for small, entrepreneurial firms. Even an almost 150 year old organization can be nimble when the right leader creates the right environment for success. When Denise Morrison took the helm at Campbell in 2011, she asked the global leadership team how the company could act faster and make bolder moves. She also looked outside the company at other highly innovative firms.
As a result, Denise implemented a process at Campbell she calls "disciplined creativity." She also added courage to the company's core values, which she says gives people permission to try different things and to think "outside the can." In this new environment, Campbell introduced some 35 new products in fiscal year 2012, significantly more than in each of the past three years.
The company has also broadened its range of products in international markets which it currently does business, as well as in new developing markets.
Joining Denise Morrison in tackling the issue of Innovation Culture are:
' The Shift: Creating the Space to Navigate Wicked Problems

' Harness Uncertainty & Surprise for Breakthrough Innovation & Change
