The Innovation Imperative
Leading change in the age of AI
The problem is not that organizations do not want to innovate. It is that most innovation programs are designed to protect the existing business, not transform it.
The Innovation Imperative is a keynote or workshop by Ramy Nassar, a Canadian futurist, author and keynote speaker and the former Head of Innovation at Mattel, built for transformation and digital leaders, all-hands, leadership programs. Keynotes run 30 to 90 minutes and workshops 90 minutes to a full day, in person or virtually, in English, French, or German.
In today’s AI-powered economy, the ability to adapt quickly is survival, not luxury. Drawing on decades helping global brands reimagine innovation, and lessons from both startups and Fortune 500s, Ramy shows leaders how to cultivate the cultures, systems, and strategies that unlock enterprise-scale innovation. He equips them to embrace risk, adopt an AI-first mindset, and leap from incremental improvement to bold reinvention.
Audiences learn how to
- Build innovation systems that combine startup agility with enterprise scale
- Harness AI as a catalyst for creativity, speed, and competitive advantage
- Reframe culture, risk, and constraints as fuel for transformation and growth
Ramy’s energy and expertise when it comes to the role of emerging technology are unrivalled. He brought a passion and enthusiasm to my team that helped drive us to new heights in terms of data-driven digital transformation.
