Targeting Innovation

Winning Through Innovation is a series of events with a compelling programme of motivational speakers drawn from exemplar companies and leading management theorists as well as examples of Scottish success stories where innovation has made a difference to local companies.

The emphasis is on raising awareness of the importance of innovation in its widest sense within your business, illustrating the need for and the benefits of successful innovation to business and inspiring the desire to act.  

As well as being informative and providing encouragement, the event brings together key public sector support organisations involved in Innovation to enable and assist companies and individuals to pursue the development of innovative new products, processes and services at whatever stage of the development they find themselves.

Speakers include Michael Kell Ryan, former executive at Ryanair. Kell Ryan is a pioneering member of a team that has changed travel within Europe and is the largest low cost airline in Europe. Mr Ryan takes great delight in passing on his knowledge, enthusiasm and insight into Ryanair's success on changing aviation in Europe, how it managed change, company culture, leadership, motivation and most importantly of all for any company the unrelenting control of costs.

Hosting the event is Kaye Adams, one of the country's most experienced live TV and radio broadcasters. Away from her many broadcasting and writing commitments, Kaye is also well-known for her corporate work. Because of her extensive experience of handling live and unpredictable situations, she is the ideal facilitator for conferences.

The Winning Through Innovation events are open to all existing businesses in Scotland. Places are free and up to two delegates per company are welcome.
