SUPERCHARGE YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH OUR PRESUMMIT EVENTS ON THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10.
RADICAL INNOVATION
Has your organization had an innovation plan in the past but it just didn’t give you the results you expected? Maybe you tried some design thinking exercises, put in a fun conference room complete with markers, white boards, Koosh balls and a foosball table…but innovation still didn’t come knocking. Or maybe you have had some level of success with innovation…but don’t know where to go from here. Whatever the case may be, this session, led by Deviant Thinker, Jennifer Thompson, will super charge your thought process. In her presentation, Jennifer will address:
- The neurological reasons why innovative thinking is so difficult.
- How to rewire your brain and your company to expand your innovation.
- The reasons why brainstorming doesn’t work and what to do instead.
- Communication tips and tricks that work to get people to hear your new ideas.
We love our assumptions and hold tightly to them but they need to be challenged to have an innovative idea. Our assumptions have significant impact on our communication, on how we are heard, and how we can influence others. Working in groups of 8-10 you’ll discuss the greatest challenges in sharing new ideas and how to overcome your assumptions and use new strategies. Get ready for some thought-provoking results!
EXPERIENCE SOMETHING NEW AT THIS YEAR’S SUMMIT
COLOR BEYOND will encourage you to think about more than color, trends, and forecasts. We’ve replaced our legacy workshops with new and collaborative events designed to heighten your connections and broaden your perspective.
In our hands-on workshops you’ll explore materials and how they relate to CMG’s directional color stories and their impact in the circular economy. You’ll dive into color in the field of animation and games, exploring the impact on emotion and perspective. Our mentoring event will broaden your thinking of color in new industries as you connect and establish relationships with a global community of color design experts. And to enhance your experience, our Pre Summit events will challenge your assumptions and thinking on color!

- We’ll look at the future of color with the revelation of our 2024+ World Color Forecast™. (CMG Full & Company Members will also receive early access to the printed 2024+ World Color Forecast.)
- Our Keynote presenters will examine 60 years of color forecasting by presenting The CMG Color Story Evolution.
