The Blues-print
for Innovation
with Bob Jones
CEO, serial founder, MIT lecturer,
blues guitarist/vocalist
not your typical keynote
Forget the dry slide decks.
Bob Jones brings an electric guitar on stage and plays the blues to illustrate the raw, gritty principles of building a successful Innovation Engine, especially within a large organization. He delivers valuable and immediately useful content in a high-energy entertaining session that audiences take with them when they return to the office.
THE THREE PILLARS
OF INNOVATION
Bob uses live music as the perfect metaphor for high-performing innovation teams, focusing on:
- Understanding the structure: Mastering the “blues-print” before you break the rules
- Picking the right collaborators: Building the synergy for a high-performing team
- Reading the audience/market: How to pivot and drive execution, based on real-time feedback
“Bob Jones is a game-changer. He didn’t just teach—he inspired, challenged, and elevated the entire room. You’ll walk away inspired and equipped to achieve more than you thought possible.”
