When it comes to building a strategy for our organization, we tend to base it off of the fact that history repeats itself. But stopping there can still leave many of us blindsided. Because let’s face it, if we’ve learned anything from this past year, it's that planning for the totally unexpected is what separates the ill-prepared from the truly innovative and resilient.
But how do you plan and pivot for these surprise trials and tribulations? Our guest today, Jonathan Brill, is an innovation executive who through his new book, Rogue Waves, presents his ABC’s of resilient growth. His method allows insight into how the success of an organization can prevail in times of uncertainty with the skills and team already acquired, even when coming into the fight generally unprepared. Or better yet, avoiding the scramble altogether by building a muscle memory of identifying and preparing for the problem before it ever takes place.
Holding a degree in Industrial Design from Pratt Institute, Jonathan has trained tens of thousands of executives in innovation, strategy, and decision-making techniques. Formerly the Global Futurist and Research Director at Hewlett Packard, he has also served as managing partner of innovation consultancies that developed over 350 products for clients like Samsung, Microsoft, Verizon, PepsiCo and the US government.
He is currently a board member and advisor to the Chairman at Frost & Sullivan, a market intelligence firm that operates in 46 countries, as well as the managing director of Resilient Growth Partners.
Additionally, he serves as a speaker and contributor for TED, Singularity University, Korn Ferry, J.P. Morgan, Forbes and the Harvard Business Review.
