Innovation Accelerator: How to turbo-charge and lead innovation.
Innovation is what provides organisations with a competitive advantage, not only through bringing to market profitable new products and services, but also through having more engaged employees, efficient processes that save companies millions of dollars, and through being an aspirational workplace - one that people are queuing up to get into.

There is an old saying that says ?if you always do what you always did, you?ll always get what you always got?. If you are a sales person in today?s ultra competitive climate, if you keep doing what you always did, you will probably start to go backwards.
