Faculty and Staff PRO Chat: 'Beating the Same ‘Ol, Same ‘Ol: Fostering Innovation In The Workplace'

May 22, 2019
2:00 pm to 3:00 pm

About this event

Sometimes, it’s easy to think and do things the way we’ve always done them; those old paradigms become the "right way" to do things. And yet we know teams with an innovative spirit will reliably outperform others. How can we learn to incorporate creative and innovative thinking in our day-to-day activities? During this chat, MSU Center for Entrepreneurship and Outreach Director Eric Hill will discuss tactics that startups use to compete with Fortune 500 companies. Participants will learn about tools they can use to foster an entrepreneurial spirit that can be personally and professionally beneficial.
