"‘’I cannot overstate my recommendation of Chris for C-level audiences. Chris Heemskerk was a standout keynote speaker at the Arizona Technology Council’s annual CEO Leadership Retreat. His presentation on 'Innovation Management for CEOs' was a tour de force - both enlightening and thought-provoking. Chris presented an incisive breakdown of a CEO's role in the innovation process, effectively illustrating how leaders can catalyze meaningful change within their organizations. With his discussion on the 'Innovation Engine,’ he presented a compelling case for integrating traditional corporate strategies with dedicated innovation strategies. Moreover, he transformed the abstract concept of leading innovation into a practical and tangible endeavor. By incorporating the elements of the Innovation Scorecard, he provided CEOs with a powerful tool to assess their innovation capabilities across culture, organizational design, external dimensions and effectiveness. Witnessing an engaged and energized public throughout the entire session, I cannot overstate my recommendation of Chris for C-level audiences. His outstanding delivery and profound insights distinguished him as one of the premier speakers at our event’’."
