Business UnwrappedIs Google just a business? How did they come up with that idea? Have you seen their offices, and the way they organize work life for their employees? What about Ben and Jerry, Cliff Bars, Starbucks? Where did it all come from? If you thought being creative was just for artists you should take a serious look at businesses. Growing, developing, improving, and even financing businesses these days, can exercise those creative muscles. It is not about doing things the way they have always been done and this session aims to look at creativity in a business context. Hilary Burkinshaw of Centerpoint at Governor`s State University will lead this informative presentation. Bring your lunch and learn.
