Oct 24th Waltham - Agile Boston Monthly Meeting
Personality Poker: Creating High Performing Innovation Teams

Contrary to conventional wisdom, opposites do not attract. As a result, in business, we tend to surround ourselves with people who are similar to us. Although this is great for efficiency, it destroys innovation. The key to high performing innovation teams is to make sure that each individual is "playing to their strong suit" while the organization as a whole is "playing with a full deck." You need to make sure you have all of the innovation styles fully addressed in your organization.

Come play poker with author Stephen Shapiro. While playing this fast-paced, highly interactive game, you will discover:

- Your primary innovation style and your innovation blind spots
- Why the person you like the least is the person you need the most
- How to create a high-performing innovation team that leverages divergent points of view
You will hear about:
