In the last decade, Dubai Future Foundation, Walmart, Coca-Cola and others have called on Jonathon to maximize their innovation potential. The through-line of his keynote work derives from his decade-long research project interviewing hundreds of innovation leaders globally to uncover methods for sparking systematic innovation. In his day to day, Jonathon guides the vision of Trend Hunter, the world's largest trend spotting platform. Helping global Fortune 500s to build research and training programs, he's driven his own "crash course" in corporate innovation and plucked the best practices for the benefit of the audiences he speaks to. As an event emcee and international business keynotes speaker, Jonathon is renowned for his magnetic delivery, executive presence and divergent storytelling style. His best known keynotes include "How to Innovate like a Rap Star," "Top Innovators in Business" and "Innovation Tactics from Fortune 500s."
What if innovation is more than a business skill? What if it’s a personal journey? In this keynote, Jonathon Brown explores the three stages of innovation through identity, culture, and legacy.

Leaders today are under increased pressure to find winning innovation strategies, but there are few avenues to learn how others do it. Gathered from personal interviews with today’s business leaders, this session focuses on reporting actual innovation techniques used in business today, organized into specific objectives, such as “internal buy-in,” or “consumercentricity.”
Through hundreds of interviews with leaders at the world’s top companies, Trend Hunter’s Business Innovation Group has gathered a range of unique programs, initiatives and approaches that support innovation and push people to be curious, insatiable and willing to destroy.
