Innovation is born from a desire to create change for the better. And, yet, too often people give up on their most ambitious ideas for change. What does it take to turn a dream into a promise, and to keep it? 

In this keynote, Ewan will share lessons from undertaking more strategy in a year than most directors get to do in a lifetime, through hundreds of strategic planning projects across 72 countries. What is strategy, really, and how can anyone create meaningful strategy that gets a whole community engaged and excited about their future? One clue: it’s got nothing to do with planning.
