About ILTAVATION

Join your ILTA peers to learn practical and actionable ways to drive change and innovation in your organization. Spend the day practicing ways to make your case with creative communication strategies and simplified forms of innovation methodology, including: design thinking, failure learning banks, project management and advocate drivers. Additionally, you will learn how experiments, betas, and pilots can lower the cost of "buying" permission in process-heavy environments. At the end of the session, you will leave with tangible takeaways and tools to implement change and drive practical innovation.

Facilitated by Matt Homann

Throughout the day, Matt Homann, Founder & CEO at Filament, will captivate ILTA peers through open discussions and lead conversations on ways to innovate.
