Keynote Meeting
Getting to the Heart of Strategy Through Innovation
The venerable greeting card has been doing the same job for over 100 years: connecting people and building relationships. Rather than losing their relevance, cards are still going strong and creating innovation in unexplored and unexpected places. Using a case study, Minneapolis-based Hallmark Business Connections’ CMO Heather Teskey will take you from hypothesis to strategy to the rollout of a successful new business model. You’ll get actionable next steps for:
- Shifting paradigms: re-discovering your very best
