When Donna Cardon became director of Highland City Library, her son, Benjamin, was starting the BYU School of Business Entrepreneurship program. As Donna began to navigate her new responsibilities, she found that she could apply a lot of the principles and techniques her son was learning at school to her own efforts to be innovative as a library director. In this class Donna and Benjamin will share some of the basic principles entrepreneurs use to generate and execute innovative ideas and how these principles can be applied to library leadership.

Learning objectives:
Learn how to generate innovative ideas in your library.
Learn how to use measurement and statistics to predict innovation success.
Practice idea generating exercises you can use with staff or your board.
