The first UW-MANIAC "Innovation and Collaboration Learning Cafe" of the academic year will be held Thursday, Nov 17th, 8:30am - 1pm at Pyle Center. The focus is "Moving Ideas to Reality: Getting Started with Innovation," and it will feature an array of tools for defining, communicating, refining, and disseminating new ideas at the onset of the innovation process. Subsequent cafes in the series (February and April) will explore the later phases of the innovation process... but this one is all about getting started:
How do you get that creative idea off the ground? How do you refine your message so it is exciting to others and is readily conveyed? Who are the people you need in order to advnace that crazy notion so it gets off the ground? These are the types of questions we will explore, with stories, graphic communication tools, an exploration of Malcolm Gladwell's 'tipping point' methods, and other activities.
Come on over! The cost is $15, including lunch.
