Cutting-edge thinking from over 250 world-class speakers. Virtually, inperson, on demand.
Creativity cannot live exclusively in protected pockets of our organisations, it must be something that we all do, every day. This virtual event is for anyone who sees the current global disruption as an opportunity. Kirk will share a handful of simple everyday disruptive thinking techniques, championed at Google and other forward-thinking organisations. He’ll also experiment with how to flex these in a world of blended interaction environments, from in-person, to using virtual meeting apps, and even silent meetings over a shared doc! Kirk Vallis Kirk Vallis helps his fellow Googlers use creativity to solve problems. He does this in two ways – facilitating teams through projects and working sessions where fresh or disruptive thinking is required. He also builds the confidence and capability in others to do it themselves. Where time permits away from Google, Kirk acts as an advisor, mentor and public speaker. He advises noncompeting organisations to help them develop creative capability at all levels in their organisations.
