In “The Anatomy of a (Good) Idea” Ace debunks the widely held idea that brilliance is born of epiphany or a knock to the head a la Doc Brown in Back To The Future. The process of coming up with a quality idea is characterized by discipline and adherence to a handful of core principles. Beyond the idea, the work of ensuring we’re solving the right problem is paramount for optimal outcomes.

In this interactive session, Ace, an award-winning Founder, entrepreneur, facilitator, and educator unpacks the process of problem identification to idea generation. He creates structure and a tool kit for groups in pursuit of the next idea that will help solve small problems with nimble teams, navigate large structural conundrums in massive organizations, and come up with elegant solutions for all types of environments in between.
