Tactics of Innovation:
How to Get Buy-In for NEW IDEAS

Joel Barker and Debbe Kennedy serve as executive instructors for How to Get Buy-In for NEW IDEAS, an exclusive online professional development class at the Global Dialogue Center. The class was inspired by their 2009 global dialogue series, Innovating in Hard Times. In the course of their conversations with leaders and innovators around the world, they asked over 2000 participants to identify the #1 challenge standing in their way: 84% responded "resistance to change” and 23% identified "breaking through the noise in this time of information overload."

Joel and Debbe have been long time collaborators, sharing their independent and collective study, research, and practical experiments related to innovation, leadership, the role of diversity as a driver of innovation, and introducing new ideas. How to Get Buy-In for NEW IDEAS reflects the best of their work for over a decade.
