INNOVATION KEYNOTE SPEAKER AT RIALTO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT BUSINESS LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE

RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CA – Innovation keynote speaker and inventor Julie Austin will deliver the keynote “Sparking Innovation: Turning Your Employees Into Problem Solvers Using Teamwork” on July 27, 2018.

The 2018 Rialto Business Leadership Conference is organized by the Rialto Unified School District, and will be sponsored by Trane, Inc.

Education is being disrupted, and the Rialto Unified School District is making it a priority to stay ahead through innovation. In fact, their tagline is “Bridging Futures Through Innovation”.

“One of the biggest barriers to innovation is motivation”, says Austin, “Employees are motivated by different things. Find out what motivates them and incentivize them.”

Innovation starts at the top, and managers need to be open and receptive to hearing new ideas from everyone in the organization. Anyone from the CEO to the janitor has ideas that are worth listening to. Through brainstorming and team-building, the team acts as one big, collective brain that feeds off of each other to help solve problems and come up with new ideas.

Innovation is more than just a buzzword. And change is going to continue to disrupt education. But through innovation you can learn to turn change into opportunity.

INNOVATION KEYNOTE SPEAKER TO KICK OFF .ORG INNOVATION SUMMIT

SHAUMBURG, IL – Association executives will gather for the annual .org Innovation Summit, presented by .org Source to learn how to infuse innovation into their culture. Innovation keynote speaker and inventor Julie Austin will kick off the event.

For years, associations have enjoyed a legacy business model and have remained pretty much unchallenged until the Internet began disrupting that business model. Now, other non profits, for profit startups, Linked In and Facebook groups, and online content are giving them a run for their money.

And it’s more than just technology that’s shaking up the association business. Changing demographics, limited revenue streams, and higher member expectations are some of the problems they are facing.

“Anything can change your business”, says Austin, “the economy, customer tastes, government regulations, counterfeiters, or even the weather. You have to constantly be innovating to stay ahead of the curve”.

This means innovating every aspect of your business, from your memberships to your events, to the way you tell the story of your organization.

Innovation is more than just a buzzword. And change is going to continue to disrupt the association business. But through innovation you can learn to turn change into opportunity.
