James Taylor partnered with Ecuadorian based consultancy Sonder to deliver a one hour speech plus a full-day workshop at Yanbal’s headquarters in Quito for 60 members of their executive team. The morning started with James delivering a 60 minute keynote speech on creativity, innovation and artificial intelligence. The late morning session consisted of James delivering interactive training to the Yanbal team on five different tools to help them generate a higher quantity and quality of new ideas. During this session the participants were put into ten groups of six persons. In the afternoon the participants were trained on tools and techniques for assessing the ideas that they had generated in the morning.

During the sessions new ideas were generated to improve sales processes, reduce costs, accelerate digital transformation, increase quality of marketing content, improve customer experience and develop new product lines for new global markets.

“Thanks for a methodology that opens many doors to innovation and creativity.”

“From a technical point of view, these tools make it much easier to take decisions in terms of innovation.”

“I learned that to be creative, you need to define a space of time, get away from the day to day and have a high-level methodology like that shared by James Taylor.”

“Now we have the tools to maximize the creative we have inside.”

“Thank you for inspiring and recovering the creativity that I have always had. We are all creative!”
