Is this workshop for you?

  1. Would you enjoy tackling your biggest innovation challenges with other top innovators from leading companies in a number of diverse industries?
  2. Would you enjoy interacting with leading innovators somewhat “anonymously,” so you can be less guarded and hear what people “really” think?
  3. Would you value a highly interactive, engaging, unorthodox professional event that’s unlike the usual “coffee and keynote” innovation conferences you usually end up at?
  4. Have you ever made a decision using your best guess, but wished you had better tools to predict the right answer?
  5. Are your business’s most important decisions too frequently driven by group consensus, politics or team “gut feeling?”
If you scored 3 or more “yes” answers = this conference is for you.

It’s anonymous.

Up until the last segment of the two-day event, everyone will collaborate on a first-name-only basis. This facilitates an environment where everyone can participate on equal footing, without the baggage of rank, title and affiliation. Leading innovators from the world’s top companies will collaborate in a safe, fun environment where everyone can be less guarded, build candid relationships and focus more on the substance at hand.

It’s interactive.

One of the first questions people ask is “who’s giving the keynote?” The answer is: nobody. Innovators Anonymous isn’t that kind of an event. Instead of sitting and listening to “experts” all day, Innovators Anonymous assumes you’re the expert. That’s why you’ve been chosen to attend and why participation is invitation-only. Unlike most conferences, Innovators Anonymous has been carefully designed as a series of interactive, thought-provoking activities to harvest your expertise as an individual and within dynamic teams. You won’t be isolated or put on the spot but everyone is, in a sense, a keynote speaker. That means you!

It’s about data science.

You already know we live in a time of unprecedented data science, technology, “big data” and powerful predictive analytics. Your company may even be at the forefront of this revolution. However when it comes to the biggest, most important innovation decisions, you still find yourself (and your teams) relying overwhelmingly on gut intuition to navigate the complex paths ahead.

Regardless of whether your business is high-tech or low-tech, Innovators Anonymous teaches you to build your own predictive models for your biggest innovation challenges. The workshop will empower you with actionable frameworks to meaningfully use data science to improve the rigor and accuracy of your organization’s decisions, without requiring you to be a mathematician or a computer scientist. Innovators Anonymous illuminates the power and pitfalls of data science in an accessible, actionable way.

What People are Saying

“The experience we have had… has been insightful, instructive, collaborative, and fun! We have learned new ideas and been able to test our thinking each step of the way as we have adopted some of this new thinking and decision support framework. We have appreciated the objectivity and lack of pre-conceived ideas that [Growth Science] brought to the table, and [its] ability to challenge our traditional thinking where necessary.”

“Without question I would recommend the approach to others and would endorse it fully. The experience has been a tremendous learning experience and has given me renewed hope for our organization.”

“One of the most helpful aspects… is that it provides an opportunity to look at proposed opportunities in a very data driven approach and removes some of the emotion and, to a degree, subjectivity from the discussion and analysis of an opportunity. Additionally, when working through the models to be able to answer the questions it requires the team to have a thorough thoughtful conversation in order to answer appropriately which yields better analysis and collection of data.”
