David Phillips, Faster Glass Consulting
Jason Watson

The Innovation Institute designs and delivers artist-led, experiential learning programs that build creative capacity in groups, teams, and companies. In this workshop for Charlotte ATD, we will share some of the key principles that professional artists use in their work and provide an opportunity for the participants to explore these practices first-hand. Challenging assumptions, failing forward, and seeking out new perspectives are at the heart of innovation, but most business professionals aren’t in environments that encourage discovery or tolerate failure. And that’s a status quo that is crying out for disruption.  Join us to learn how to “think like an artist” and how the learning community can employ these tools within their teams and organizations.

David Phillips brings a wealth of experience to the Innovation Institute as an educator, consultant, and entrepreneur. You can also add "agitator" to the list, as that's been a connective thread throughout his career. In addition to his work at the Institute, David runs Faster Glass Consulting, an innovation advisory firm dedicated to helping companies apply the principles and practices of human-centered design. Prior to founding Faster Glass in 2010, he spent six years at Bank of America, developing and leading several enterprise innovation programs.
