Eight featured presenters gave an espresso dose of content in thirty minutes each.
1. CIA Recruit - presented by Scott Buchanan

on introducing creative thinking into your
culture in a non-intrusive way - it's called “Stealth Creativity” - sneak creativity in
under the radar and help your organization
get results.
2. Creating the Relevant AHA - Chris Barlow of
the Co-Creativity Institute showed how to go beyond brainstorming to get to the root of complex
challenges within conflicted organizations - and he made it fun!

5. Heartful Planning - Project plans get done
when people care and the best plans don’t if
there is no “heart” for them. Alexis Driscoll
instructed in a simple bottom up technique that identifies where the “drive” is - enabling better planning and outcomes.
