Looking for a speaker on Creativity and Innovation?
Derek Cheshire is an international expert in the application of Creativity and Innovation to business and the management of continuous Innovation at local, regional and national levels. He actively encourages and promotes the use of creative techniques in everyday business processes. His ideas are welcomed from Latin America to the Far East. His work encompasses consultancy, idea generation and facilitating continuous innovation as well as facilitating and chairing conference events and on stage interviewing.
If you are contemplating embracing creativity and innovation, want to know more about it, are wondering what its impact may be or are just plain curious about how it might change your organisation then Derek is the speaker for you. Derek spent a number of years working in the Software and Telecommunications industries, asking awkward questions and being told ‘that’s the way we have always done things around here’. Not satisfied with the answers, he set about ‘changing the way things are done around here’ and freeing others from similar situations.
Derek is an accomplished speaker and has compiled a long list of blog articles including Innovation – How long is a piece of string?, Taking the In out of Innovation and How To Generate 20 New Business Ideas Over Coffee. Any of these articles can be a topic for a short presentation or keynote. Visit his blog for more ideas. He recently appeared in the CNBC programme The Business of Innovation along with Meg Whitman, CEO of eBay and Prof Eric Von Hippel of MIT.
Derek is also a member of the mastermind group for the Design Interaction course at the Royal College of Art and Design in The Hague. He is currently researching a book about how saying ‘no’ or not spotting opportunities could have prevented the world from seeing some of our most important innovations.
