FUTURETHINK
Multinational pharmaceutical provider Novartis Oncology wanted to push development for its North American leaders with greater problem-solving and innovation-building capabilities. The company also sought to jump-start the task in one day at its March global alignment meeting for leaders in Washington, D.C. Novartis partnered with innovation capability firm futurethink to establish the one-day curriculum of learning events that would support the firm’s goals for growth and change with practical tools and techniques that leaders could use daily.
Futurethink designed a variety of courses for attendees. Event content featured a keynote featuring futurethink’s CEO and founder, Lisa Bodell, as well as smaller classroom workshops. The smaller workshops aimed to amplify successful application of the concepts discussed in the keynote. Session content was interactive, and all courses included a learning framework, case studies and innovation resources and tools for future reference.
Of the three workshops from the session, futurethink’s workshop scored an average of 90 percent approval based on a post-event survey.
