DESCRIPTION:Our speaker will be Vivian Rhoads with the provocative title: 
 Stop Decking Around Wake Up to the Human Factor of Innovation Innovation d
 oes not fail because of bad ideas. At a time when AI can generate unlimit
 ed content in seconds\, leaders are flooded with decks while teams run low
  on genuine human connection. In this presentation\, Vivian Rhoads invites
  leaders to Stop Decking Around and reconnect with the one force that trul
 y moves innovation forward: people. Drawing on data\, humor\, and a deeply
  personal story\, she shows how performance pressure\, content overload\, 
 and reactive leadership pull teams away from the clarity\, creativity\, an
 d presence required for meaningful innovation. Get a renewed understandin
 g of the human factor of innovation and with three practical steps that he
 lp to move from producing more content to activating the human energy\, co
 nnection\, and clarity that create bold and original results. Short Bio o
