KEYNOTE - GREAT MINDS DON’T THINK ALIKE: ARTISTS AS INNOVATORS IN BUSINESS, GOVERNMENT & SOCIETY

Leaders in business, government and the social sector agree that the future of their organizations depends on creativity.  Research and experience have shown that diverse teams go farther, and that cognitive diversity is as important as gender and racial diversity. While a lot has been written about amplifying the inherent creativity of leaders and teams, less attention has been paid to bringing artists into organizations and partnerships, and backing their ideas.  Laura Callanan, founding partner of Upstart Co-Lab, shares her perspective on why artists can bring a human-centered approach that helps all of us be effective and innovative.
