Celebrating Innovation!

Community guests asked questions
There are no foolish questions, and no man becomes a fool until he has stopped asking questions. ~ Charles Proteus Steinmetz

What difference does it make for MBA's to celebrate findings from solution strategies they tried at work?  Plenty. When  St. John Fisher MBA students exhibited innovative solutions for community guests, it stretched their skills.  Guests' questions and insights surprised and pleased young MBA leaders throughout the evening.

When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.  ~ Dr. Wayne Dwyer.  
Students targeted an improvement they wanted to make for a problem in their workplace. These young MBA's  picked local leaders' brains for solution ideas.  They designed and implemented a strategy at work to overcome the issue. 

Quality Outcomes Expected
The important thing about a problem is not its solution, but the strength we gain in finding the solution ~ Anonymous

MBA  student leaders expected quality outcomes.  They worked as teams to design exhibit materials to share findings with  community visitors.

Move all resources available
Accomplish things never before accomplished by using parts of your brain never before used at work. ~ Ellen F. Weber

Guests visited colorful booth exhibits, which included games, video demos, healthy snacks, poster displays and music.  Conversations between community visitors and vibrant young leaders filled the room.  They shared experiences and learned from each others' wisdom.

Reflect to adjust and change
Change starts when someone sees the next step. ~ William Drayton

From the beginning, these young leaders made changes and adjustments as they reflected with classmates throughout the course. They asked, "What is the next step?" and, "Where to from here?"
