Keynote: Courageous Minds Only

Abstract

Courageous Minds Only
We’re operating in more uncertainty than ever, and companies are facing pressure like never before to stay relevant in existing categories and to push into new, disruptive spaces. The Garage Group was founded on the premise that in the midst of uncertainty, startups are tailor-made for searching for new ways to add value. We’ve spent the last decade leading BigCos like Nike, Kimberly-Clark, Mars, and Cargill to apply startup-inspired approaches to solve their uncertain innovation and growth challenges. Based on lessons learned and insights gathered from past projects and TGG’s Courageous Minds Only Community, Jason Hauer, Co-Founder and Chief Growth Officer at TGG, will share how you can reimagine the business you’re in, search for ways to tap into new sources of growth, and reinvent how the work gets done, so that ultimately you’ll walk away with courage, inspiration, and ideas for building the future in an uncertain world.
