Innovation Mindset Masterclass
Lisa A. Napolione ‘87, Dr. Simoon Cannon ‘97 & Dr. Jen Ball
October 24th, 10 AM – 2 PM @ The Studio
In this masterclass, attendees will learn what makes an innovative mind, and how diverse and inclusive teams empower these minds to solve complex or multidimensional problems. Attendees will walk away with the ability to foster the innovation mindset in their current teams, and the ability to build innovative teams from the ground up through a holistic “value-add” process. Teams will be tasked with building an effective product development team for a new product based on the attributes of the innovation mindset. They will not only look at applicants’ technical abilities, but also for other experiences or skills that could add value to the development team.

10-11:15am: Phase 1 with Lisa A. Nipolione ‘87
11:15-11:45am: Lunch (provided)
11:45am-2pm: Phase 2 with Dr. Simoon Cannon ‘97 & Dr. Jen Ball
