Innovation is emerging as the essential element of success for any organization, whether a business, government agency or philanthropy. Our panel will examine the tools leaders can use to foster innovation and remain competitive and relevant. The themes and questions our panelists will address are:

What can be done to ingrain not only the process of innovation, but the spirit of it -- motivation, curiosity and the hunger for lifelong learning -- into a culture?
What are some promising technologies that our panelists are using to promote new ideas and further workforce education?
How are leaders addressing constant technologic disruption and empowering workforces to respond to change?
How do leaders nurture collaboration; whether inside organizations, across borders, or between organizations?
