About Our Speaker

Our October 9th AIM Lunch Meeting features Dr. Sunnie Giles - author of "Radical Innovation" - talking with us about the role of "Quantum Leadership" and radical innovation. Dr. Giles is a highly-respected researcher and a great presenter. Those how register for the event early enough will also get a copy of Dr. Giles book.

About The Session

Business leaders are being challenged at an unprecedented rate with increasing complexity and uncertainty and with increasing demands for faster decision making. The rules of the game have changed dramatically from standardization and cost reduction of the Industrial era to constant learning and innovation for the digital era.

We now need a new type of leader: the Quantum Leader. These leaders are fundamentally different from the rest of the pack and are a much better fit for today’s fast changing environment. They operate on adaptability, self-organization, diversity of thought and simple rules. Dr. Giles' research has found that there are six distinct leadership competencies necessary to deliver radical innovation: self-management, safety, differentiation, connection, learning, and integration. Consistent innovation is the only way to survive in a fast changing VUCA world. By harnessing VUCA, Quantum leaders not only consistently deliver on radical innovation, they reclaim humanity and cement a team with psychological safety and connection. In this session Dr. Giles teaches how to:

•     Take the mystery out of radical innovation and redefine the rules of how the game is played.

•     Identify how to catalyze innovation in your organization.

•     Set a strategic agenda for organizational transformation.

•     Identify what leadership competencies are required to become successful in the fast changing, uncertain times.
