Independence, Kansas
A Call for Innovation!
The Innovative Business Resource Center (IBRC) was incorporated in 2010 as an independent, not-for-profit organization with the sole objective of helping new and existing businesses. As we look for new ways to help, we realize that now, more than ever, we must create cultures in all of our organizations and institutions that foster and implement innovative solutions on a regular, on-going basis in order to survive and thrive in the future.
Our second annual SEK Innovation summit was held in Independence, Kansas on September 14th and 15th. The objective of the summit was to bring together those that can help inspire all of us to think more about innovation and what it would mean to our regional economy if innovation was practiced everywhere as a regular way of conducting business.
We'll set the dates for the 2012 SEK Innovation Summit soon.
Do you have an innovation story to tell? Do you know of an innovation by a business, community or government organization in Southeast Kansas? Do you have a technique or method to share that would help others be more innovative? We'd like to celebrate some of these innovations on our web site www.InnovateSEK.org) and at our SEK Innovation Summit in 2012
We're asking our presenters to use their personal experiences to demonstrate one or more of the following points: That……
- We all need to learn innovation techniques so our businesses and institutions can innovate new products, services and processes on a regular basis
- Using innovation on a regular basis:
- will help companies create world-class products and services
- is the best way to grow a viable regional economy
- World-class companies:
- do exist in SEK—we need to inspire more
- have access to larger markets
- attract other world class companies to the region
