San Francisco, CA, USA, November 02, 2011 — Creativity and innovation expert, Julie Austin, will be kicking off the Northern California Human Resources Association’s HR Leadership and Strategy Conference this Thursday. Her topic is “Driving Innovation and Competitive Advantage” and she will explain why companies need both innovation and creativity to stay on top.

With all of the choices available today, how can a business stand out in the crowd? “With constant, fearless creativity and innovation”, says Austin. “History is full of examples of companies that failed to innovate, like MySpace, and dropped off the map. Just because you’re number one now, doesn’t mean you will automatically stay there.”

As the field becomes saturated with competition, one has to learn a different type of thinking if they are going to survive. Creative thinking will become the most valuable trait to have in the future. People who are problem solvers, understand pattern recognition, and are able to generate innovative ideas will be in demand. Most people don’t think this way naturally.

But the good news is that it can be taught. one has to be observant, bold, courageous, and willing to take risks. Creativity and innovation isn’t for the timid, but the payoffs for a company are huge.

Creative Innovation is a woman owned business that teaches half and whole day seminars called “Creativity & Innovation on Demand”. Julie Austin is an inventor, innovation speaker and multiple business owner. She is one of few women innovation speakers that has actually innovated.
