Stephen Shapiro

BIO

Stephen Shapiro is Innovation Expert, Author and Hall of Fame Speaker who shares his knowledge of innovation with Fortune 500 companies around the world and continuously inspires teams to enhance their creative abilities. Stephen cultivates innovation by showing leaders and their teams how to approach, tackle and solve their business challenges. Based on his insights, organizations like NASA, Marriott, 3M, P&G and USAA have revolutionised the way they tackle innovation. The first innovation opportunity Stephen identified was the opportunity to innovate within his own life. During his 15-year tenure at Accenture, while co-leading the company’s business process reengineering practice, he realized he no longer wanted to be responsible for people losing their jobs, so he did the opposite by building the 20,000 workforce at Accenture. Stephen bases his keynote speeches on his books - Invisible Solutions, Best Practices are Stupid, and Personality Poker.
