Stephen Shapiro's groundbreaking views on transforming business culture put him at the forefront of his field, making him one of the top keynote speakers on innovation culture, collaboration, and open innovation. Stephen challenges traditional approaches to innovation by questioning established beliefs like 'thinking outside the box' and 'more ideas are better'; instead, he offers unconventional methods for achieving efficient and repeatable innovation. His work has been featured on ABC News, The Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, Investor's Business Daily, Entrepreneur Magazine, and The New York Times.

Before becoming an independent consultant and innovation expert, Stephen built on his Cornell University education by spending 15 years at the management consulting firm, Accenture. There, he developed a foundation in Business Process Reengineering and went on to create and lead an innovation training practice for 20,000 fellow Accenture consultants.

Stephen has written 5 books revealing his philosophy on innovation. His latest book, Best Practices Are Stupid: 40 Ways to Out Innovate the Competition (Portfolio Penguin), received significant media attention for its thought-provoking ideas and became an international bestselling business book, winning 'Best Innovation and Creativity Business Book 2011' by 800 CEO Read.

His keynote speeches expand on the content of these books in an engaging and practical way. Stephen demonstrates how innovation in organizations is not only attainable but crucial to building a high-performing team, improving the bottom line, and staying ahead of the competition.

Over the past twenty years, Stephen has delivered his message to hundreds of thousands of people. In addition to working with an impressive list of clients across 40 countries worldwide, he has also been invited to present to Congressional Chiefs of Staff and Legislative Directors on Capitol Hill, establishing himself as one of the world's leading innovation speakers and thinkers.
