How to Innovate Through Chaos Like a Rap Star

Learn how the “elements of an innovator” can be found by studying the “4 elements of hip hop” (DJ, MC, Breakdancing and Graffiti). Using hip hop as a lens to find innovation lessons, this keynote collides worlds to find common ground and new insight. With a fresh take on Trend Hunter’s Create the Future framework, the session delivers tactical takeaways for tomorrow’s innovators.

Workshop:

Creating a Rhythm of Innovation

Leaders today are under increased pressure to find winning innovation strategies, but there are few avenues to learn how others do it. Jonathon will expand upon his keynote from day one to open up day two with tactics to take back to work with you.
