Georgia Tech-Savannah will host its final Learning Series of the year on Nov. 5 when a panel of community leaders will discuss “Discovering the Power of Your Creative Side.” Attendees will learn how to trigger their team’s inner curiosity, obtain valuable resource materials that can help spark creative thinking, and feel encouraged and empowered to pursue continuous improvement and innovation.

Led by leadership development expert Ned Ellington, this interactive breakfast session will focus on the vital role that curiosity and creativity can play in companies’ problem solving, innovation, and continuous improvement. Ellington and a panel of community leaders -- including Brynn Grant, chief operating officer of Savannah Economic Development Authority; Greg Parker, CEO of The Parker Companies; Jennifer Abshire, founder and chief creative officer of Abshire Public Relations; and Howard Morrison, banker/advisor to emerging technology companies -- will provide tips on how to initiate creative thinking and explain how such endeavors have allowed employees in even the seemingly most uncreative roles to make significant contributions to their companies’ innovation efforts.

The interactive breakfast discussion, which will include approximately 30 minutes of remarks followed by 45 minutes of interactive discussion, will be a hybrid between a panel discussion and a TED Talk. Networking and breakfast will begin at 7:30 a.m., and the presentation will begin promptly at 8 a.m. Cost is $15 per person, including breakfast.
