What does the latest data show about organizations that prioritize a culture of inclusiveness? Based on his book by the same name, Bush shares these details, plus how the Best Workplaces outperform their peers in the stock market and in revenue growth. Attendees hear Bush’s inspiring stories about how creating a more equitable work environment pays off. Attendees also walk away with a new “For All” Leadership Model to help drive personal performance.

Innovation by All: How Creating a Culture of Inclusion Can Drive Innovation

Today’s most innovative organizations recognize that game-changing ideas can come from anywhere and anyone. Bush explains how to build an Innovation By All culture—one that maximizes your company’s human potential by tapping into the intelligence, skills, and passion of everyone in the organization. Companies that build an Innovation By All culture generate more high-quality ideas, realize greater speed in implementation, and achieve greater agility—resulting in 5.5 times the revenue growth of peers with a less inclusive approach to innovation.
