Programs - Global Innovation Dialogues

Global Innovation Dialogue™

What if…

  • The real potential of your organization and its employees is limitless?
  • The exploration of different perspectives, increased levels of collaboration and improved networking are keys to reaching that success?
  • The larger the context, the more powerful the creative thinking and the bolder the actions?

A Global Innovation Dialogue provides a 2hrs forum in which participants explore challenging, and sometimes counter-intuitive, ideas in a small group setting. Through a carefully facilitated program, we create a place for authentic communication, unleashing of passion, and commitment to action. If you want your teams to fully appreciate the idea of “Think Globally, Act Locally,” contact Bonita Banducci, banducci@genderwork.com, for more details.
