Cathy Huang will address a speech on the topic of 5 Elements of Innovation Management. Using the concepts of Wu Xing, the traditional Chinese philosophy that describes the interactions and relationships among things in the natural world, we focus on the critical interactions and relationships between the different organizational elements of Strategy, Leadership, Creativity, Culture, and Communication. The centuries old process of Observe, Learn, Ask, Interact helps our clients look at their entire organization, to learn from one another, and to share strategies, tactics, and skills to improve their performance and address their management challenges. These five key elements from Western innovation management theories combined with the time-honored Eastern elements of Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water provide a unique way to utilize the wisdom of the past to improve current performance and to prepare for future success.
