Stephen Shapiro

In times of reduced funding, tighter deadlines, and fewer resources, a different approach to innovation is required.

Unfortunately, concepts such as “thinking outside the box” actually kill innovation.

It’s time to innovate the way you innovate.

Stephen Shapiro proves that innovation isn’t just about generating occasional new ideas; it’s about staying consistently one step ahead of the competition.

  • – Don’t innovate everywhere. To get the greatest return from your innovation efforts, you must “innovate where you differentiate.”
  • – Asking for ideas is a bad idea.Instead, ask for solutions to well-defined challenges. In other words, “find a better box.”
  • – Expertise is the enemy of innovation.The more you know about a problem, the more difficult it is to find breakthrough solutions.
  • – The brain kills innovation. The brain is wired for survival, not change.

Shapiro shows that nonstop innovation is attainable and vital to building a high-performing team, improving the bottom line, and staying ahead of the pack. In fact, his strategies have generated a tenfold improvement in innovation ROI.

Dan Waldschmidt

Everything you think you know about success is wrong! Set Goals. Work Hard. Be Persistent. That’s the typical success advice you can probably repeat in your sleep. The type of advice that doesn’t seem to work for you — or anyone you know, for that matter.
You work your butt off, but at the end of the day, you’re no closer to success than you were yesterday. The ugly truth is that it’s not what you’re doing that is holding you back.
It’s who you are. It’s the baggage between your ears that keeps you from achieving your dreams and goals. That’s why Dan Waldschmidt is changing the conversation about success. It’s why you need to have an EDGY conversation.
EDGY Conversations is a gut-wrenchingly honest, no-holds-barred discussion about what it takes to be success today. It’s based on the stories of 1,000 ordinary people in business, math, politics, sports and science who achieved mind-blowing feats of extraordinary greatness.
EDGY is how ordinary people become extraordinary.
