. Coming up with good ideas is the easy part. Just ask Thomas Edison, who famously observed that invention is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. There's no way around it. It takes substantial sweat to bring about meaningful, lasting change. But is there a way to work smart? Absolutely -- and that's what this session is all about. Through rich examples and hands-on activities, people learn how to: Transform a vague vision into a compelling plan. Overcome the inertia of the status quo. Win over skeptics and fence-sitters. Create a team of enthusiastic advocates. Leverage and learn from unfolding success stories. Create a new momentum that favors change, so that future ideas are easier to develop and implement. As a keynote or other talk, this presentation is equally effective at conferences and conventions (where the audience includes people from a variety of organizations) and at companies and agencies (where the entire group works for the same organization). The workshop version, lasting a half day to one day, works best when all the participants are from the same organization. This expanded session makes greater use of dialogue, and it gives people the chance to apply the information to their common opportunities.
