Is Your Innovation Disabled?
By Gary Birch
Innovation hinges on seeing problems from a new perspective. But few would-be innovators have considered the profound perspective shift that comes with a disability. This perspective can bring tremendous value to the workplace that hires persons with disabilities. Furthermore it explores how innovation hinges on seeing problems from a new perspective. In fact, most of us simply compartmentalize disabilities as disadvantages. This perspective-bending talk gives us an insight into the great innovations that have been spurred by those with disabilities – innovations that have benefited every one of us. Prepare to get a new perspective on how to get a new perspective.
