Innovation as a Leadership Discipline
Innovation is more than creativity or disruption — it is disciplined curiosity aligned
with mission.
Join Leaders in the Arena for a conversation with Patrick Miles, Senior Project Lead
on Chick-fil-A’s Innovation Services team. Drawing from his experience equipping innovation
within a high-performing enterprise, Patrick will explore how leaders cultivate thoughtful
experimentation, ask better questions, and ensure innovation strengthens rather than
distracts from institutional purpose.
This session invites students and professionals alike to consider innovation not as
a department, but as a leadership practice.
