Chicago, IL (PRWEB) April 29, 2008 -- Second City Communications, the innovation and learning division of the world famous improvisation theater company, The Second City, will feature its unique innovation expertise as part of a prestigious roster of keynote speakers at the international innovation forum, the 2008 Front End of Innovation Conference that runs from May 19-21 in Boston. The Front End of Innovation Conference is an annual thought-leadership conference focused on advanced thinking and methods for innovation and product/service development. "Innovation is about killer ideas, not idea killers - the dime-a-dozen naysayers and well meaning skeptics who often erect the biggest hurdles that derail innovation at most companies," said Tom Yorton, President of The Second City. "Innovation means change - and we excel at helping clients across the Fortune 1000 embrace change - using improvisation methods to empower people to see their way through inertia to accept what's new," added Yorton. "Comedy is hugely effective at helping to change the way people think about their current situation, so they can let go of what they're holding on to and be open to new ideas," he said. The Second City joins this year's roster of prominent keynote presenters at the Front End of Innovation Conference, including A.G. Lafley, Chairman of the Board and CEO of Procter & Gamble; Dean Kamen, inventor and entrepreneur; Ray Kurzweil, technology expert, inventor and NYT's bestselling author; Peter Guber, Founder and Chairman of Mandalay Entertainment Group; and Deborah Ancona, MIT's Leadership Center Director and professor of management at MIT's Sloan School of Management. "To improvise is to innovate on the spot, and for 50 years, our audiences have served as co-creators and focus groups, telling us 7 nights a week what material is hitting and what isn't. We're applying what we've learned from the stage to the practice of innovation with hundreds of Fortune 1000 clients," said Tom Yorton. "Innovation thrives in an environment that supports risk and tolerates failure. We give our clients skills to create such environments, because we know they foster original thinking and inventive problem solving," added Yorton. "What's more, we teach clients to co-create innovations with their customers - so that they're deeply grounded in the reality of people's lives," Yorton said. The Second City uses its trademark high-energy methods grounded in improvisation training and communications, Second City helps clients go beyond business as usual and set the right conditions for innovation with: Powerful Customer Connections; Deep Insights Beyond Numbing Data; Precise Problem Solving; Innovations Outside A Vacuum; Company Buy-In & Empowerment. "Improvisation connects so strongly with people because it's based on real life and insightful observations," added Yorton. "We have a lot to offer clients who are looking to become more agile in developing breakthrough innovations that delight customers and meet real needs," he said. Twenty-year innovation veteran, Chris Miller, the Founder and CEO of the innovation firm - Innovation Focus - added, "Second City excels at getting companies to go beyond business as usual and formulaic methods. They're focused on helping companies develop deep cultures of innovation where new ideas, creativity, and trust fuel breakthrough products and services." The Front End of Innovation Conference is co-sponsored by the Product Development Management Association (PDMA)...

BASF Chemistry Optimizes Performance of Mainstream GreenHome™

Florham Park, NJ (PRWEB) January 10, 2008 -- BASF demonstrates once more that innovative chemistry is the underpinning of sustainable homebuilding, providing materials and technical support for the National Homebuilder Mainstream GreenHome™ -- a demonstration home created to provide a lesson plan for mainstream sustainable building. The project is being led by Cherokee, the leading investor in the sustainable redevelopment of brownfields. "We invited BASF to participate in this project because we were looking for a partner who understood sustainability from an inner core, corporate culture perspective and participated in the manufacturing of products that are key elements of the building science needed to establish a methodology for mainstream green homebuilding," said Jonathan Phillips, Senior Director of Cherokee. "We believe that the scientists at BASF are clearly ahead of the curve in this area." For this project, BASF chemistry enhanced products, including BASF COMFORT FOAM spray-applied insulation and air barrier; CHROMIX Admixtures for Color-Conditioned Concrete; Sherwin Williams Duron Low VOC paints; and Styropor expandable polystyrene insulating foam. The National Homebuilder Mainstream GreenHome will serve as an idea laboratory for thousands of homes on remediated Cherokee properties, as well as for the building industry and public at large. It will produce more energy than it demands for operational use; be made from building materials that limit air pollution during material transportation; maintain healthy indoor air quality; reuse and reduce the need for water; and will have minimal impact on the environment. "We believe that environmentally-conscious building practices go hand-in-hand with durability, energy efficiency, speed of construction and affordability," said Jack Armstrong, manager of Building and Construction Markets for BASF. "Our participation in the Mainstream GreenHome is one more component of the BASF Better Home, Better Planet™ effort designed to educate builders and home owners about the advantages of high-performance construction technologies used to build both high-end custom homes, as well as affordable homes like the ones currently under construction in devastated areas, such as post-Katrina U.S. Gulf Coast and post-tsunami Sri Lanka." Other BASF Better Home, Better Planet projects include the BASF Near-Zero Energy Home; BASF High-Performance Philadelphia; BASF Rensselaer Wildlife Refuge; and projects in China and India, to name a few.
