Stan Deetz, Ph.D. is President of Interaction Design for Innovation, LLC, and Professor Emeritus and a President's Teaching Scholar at the University of Colorado, Boulder.

The program, Turning Difference into Creativity, will focus on developing workplace cultures that facilitate innovation and the design of interaction processes that utilize diverse perspectives and expertise to produce high quality creative decisions. The program will present instructive cases and interactive and experiential learning to help participants learn from each other and be prepared to add value to their home organizations. Specific outcome skills include ability to lead cultural change processes and greater capacity in developing groups and leading interaction processes that lead to meeting personal and organizational goals.

You will hear what lessons other organizations and leaders have been able to learn. You will learn how to avoid typical mistakes.

Testimonials
The Leadership Dialogue is a wonderfully open and modern format for anyone interested in current developments and challenges in the context of leadership. It allows one to dive into the suggestions of the respective expert with a group and, in the process get to know different perspectives and thoughts on the topic through dialogue and direct exchange with the other participants. The event has always been valuable for me so far, and I will gladly come back!

I have been a regular participant in the Leadership Dialogues since 2016. Each time, they provide me with valuable inspiration for my own work, both professionally and personally through the stimulating exchange with the diverse group of participants."

The Leadership Dialogues are an exciting format for exchanging ideas on highly relevant topics with other executives. Through the input of an expert, theoretical input is not neglected in addition to practical experience. The focus is on a joint exchange, which is why learning from each other is a key success factor of the events."
