If organizations want to see healthy bottom lines, they have to create a culture where employees aren’t afraid to break the status quo—and annihilate it. They have to be willing to disrupt their jobs for better business outcomes and constantly question whether there’s a better way to achieve a business goal.

Internal communicators are uniquely positioned to build this culture of fearless innovation.

Attend this conference and see how you can partner with senior leaders in bringing this type of culture to life at your organization. We’ll help you adopt the unconventional communication strategies that motivate employees to not only think outside the box, but to embrace the fact that in today’s ever-changing business environment, there is no box.

Ready to be fearless?

You’ll learn how to:

  • Run internal comms department like a startup, the first step in spreading fearless employee innovation across an organization
  • Tell stories and create multimedia campaigns that empower employees to innovate daily
  • Involve senior leaders in your efforts to transform your organization’s culture into one of courageous employee creativity
  • Disrupt how you measure your effectiveness: Use data analytics to view employees as consumers and overhaul their work experiences
  • Rethink your office space after being inspired by a tour of McDonald's state-of-the-art new headquarters

Bonus sessions only available to conference and webcast attendees

Introducing “Ragan’s Learning Hackathons,” where we turn control of the conference over to attendees. No speakers or case studies. It’s just you and your peers who are the stars of this learning experience, where the group creates the key takeaways from the conference and turns that collective knowledge into an actionable plan for building a culture of fearless innovation.
