The most innovative leaders and organizations "go off the beaten path" and spend time with experts and thought-leaders from OUTSIDE (including UNEXPECTED) fields to learn about their strategies, processes, tools and technologies...and then CONNECT-THE-DOTS between the information they gather and their own business objectives and priorities. Unfortunately, the majority of executives and teams aren't taking the time to explore outside areas and perspectives to find novel solutions and learn crucial skills, because this type of industry "CROSS POLLINATION" is an unfamiliar and uncomfortable practice that companies haven't formally systematized or trained their employees to do. That’s where my company, BigHeads, comes in. …we strategically pair teams with members of our global network of DIVERSE thought-leaders (the BigHeads) so they can discover UNIQUE and UNEXPECTED insights, strategies, technologies and ideas that will dramatically influence their business. So we'll bring a car restoration specialist to a cosmetics company to help them design disruptive color-matching innovations. …we develop unique CORPORATE LEARNING PROGRAMS where leading EXPERTS from OUTSIDE fields teach employees critical SKILLS they can strategically apply to their business and personal development. So we'll bring an Emmy-winning writer together with a corporate marketing team to teach them storytelling techniques they can use to tell a more compelling brand story. …we offer an invaluable CROSS POLLINATION TRAINING PROGRAM to help companies foster a culture where collaborating with diverse sources happens more organically and readily, which is essential in today's Disruption Economy.
