We speak with Drew Boyd, global leader in creativity and innovation, guiding teams, businesses and governments to deliver breakthrough results. He is the author of So You Want to be a Professor: How to Land Your Dream Job in Academia; Inside the Box: A Proven System of Creativity for Breakthrough Results; and the Innovation in Practice blog. He is also the host of Innovation Inside the Box podcast. His forthcoming book is Adding Prestige to Your Portfolio: How to Use the Creative Luxury Process to Develop Products Everyone Wants. He talks not only about how to scale a successful innovation idea, but how to even come up with an idea. Listen in on how Systematic Inventive Thinking (SIT) allows for frameworks and patterns to work from to create a promising innovation idea while simultaneously providing the means to fast track that idea successfully. When in doubt, don’t think outside the box – think inside the box. To learn how and why, join us as we talk through SIT with Drew Boyd.
