Innovation is often associated with new technologies, processes, and business models. Yet, the success of any innovation effort ultimately depends on people. How individuals respond to change, what motivates them, and the culture they work within can determine whether transformation initiatives succeed or fail.
Join us for an engaging and thought-provoking session with Johanna Madrigal-Sánchez as we explore the human factors that influence innovation. Drawing on her extensive experience in organizational transformation, operational excellence, leadership development, and change management, Johanna will share practical insights into how leaders can foster cultures that embrace innovation while effectively navigating resistance to change.
Beyond the learning experience, this event offers an opportunity to connect with a community of accomplished and inspiring women. Reconnect with familiar faces, expand your professional network, explore potential collaborations, and build meaningful relationships with women who share a passion for growth, leadership, and supporting one another’s success. Our events are designed to foster not only knowledge-sharing, but also the genuine connections that strengthen careers, businesses, and friendships.
Whether you are leading a team, driving organizational initiatives, or seeking to create greater engagement within your workplace, this session will provide valuable perspectives and actionable strategies to help you inspire change and unlock innovation through people.
