He addressed questions like: How do leaders drive innovation? How do they build a culture of experimentation and innovation? How do they harness the latest tools like generative AI to turbocharge people’s potential?

Utley discussed how people can use AI to restore creativity to its position of central importance in business. He described a robust and flexible set of disciplines that managers, executives, and entrepreneurs, can use for generating more and better ideas—and boosting the creative output of their organizations.
