About this webinar

Innovation Advocates are voluntary supporters of your program that can be used to raise awareness, create seed ideas for campaigns, and keep the overall engagement at a high level. 
They are usually not on the innovation payroll, but love getting involved.  They help the lone wolf innovators understand their own organization, where to focus and what issues may emerge.  In this webinar, Colin Nelson will provide answers to questions such as: 

  • How do you know who these people are?
  • Can and should you train them? 
  • How should this new advocate community be supported?
