Jazz: 100 Years of Innovation Through Disruption and Inclusion

Description

What you might not think of first, when you hear the word jazz, is innovation. That is, unless you are a jazz musician. In fact, when you examine the world of jazz you will find a culture and a model that has been, and remains, a hot-bed of innovation. Some of the greatest jazz innovation has been created as a result of disruption. This culture of innovation is possible because working with and learning from people of diverse cultures is a core value. This trait — this culture — of borrowing from virtually any other kind of music has led individual jazz musicians to not only accept diversity, not only embrace it, but to proactively seek it out.

Join us to hear how six principles of the jazz culture have impacted practicing musicians and their ability to create, and how applying these principles in your own organization can foster innovation and transformation. As a bonus, you’ll also be treated to some live jazz music.
