Status quo is the enemy of success, but how do you develop and maintain an innovation mindset that drives new vision and deep insight? We’ll start with an overview of the role of innovation in today’s business climate then dive into discussion with Tucker Kaas.

Kaas Tailored is an industry leader in furniture and upholstery design/manufacture with customers like Boeing and Nordstrom. We’ll learn how Kaas leverages their innovation process to produce a business operating system with demonstrable success in an atmosphere of extreme uncertainty.

Are you a business owner? Maybe you’re planning to launch a startup but extreme risk and uncertainty has left you frustrated as you try to map your next steps. PRIMER is your backstage pass. Bring your questions. There will be time for audience Q&A.
