In our fast-changing world, leaders are increasingly confronted by messy, multifaceted challenges that require collaboration to resolve. But the standard methods for tackling these challenges—meetings packed with data-drenched presentations, or brainstorming sessions that circle back to nowhere—just don’t deliver.


Great strategic conversations generate breakthrough insights by combining the best ideas of people with different backgrounds and perspectives. They lift participants above the fray of daily concerns and narrow self-interest, reconnecting them to their greater, collective purpose. And they create deep, lasting impacts that propel organizations forward.


In their book, Moments of Impact: How to Design Strategic Conversations that Accelerate Change, Lisa Kay Solomon and Chris Ertel draw on their decades of experience as innovation strategists to unveil a simple, creative process that leaders and their teams can use to unlock solutions to their most vexing issues. In this webinar, Lisa Kay Solomon, will discuss how to design and facilitate strategic conversations that create "moments of impact".
