Frans Johansson, leading innovation and diversity expert, has created The Innovation Experience as a way to teach companies and individuals how to put the principles of innovation to work.

"It's very exciting to team up with the New York Times and WorkplaceDiversity.com for this Innovation Experience to teach diversity officers and leaders of ERGs on what innovation is and isn't, how it happens, and more important show them first hand how to connect diversity to their business," says Frans Johansson.
