Kidscreen Summit 2023 to open with a keynote exploring how Disney does innovation & creativity

Duncan Wardle is the former head of innovation and creativity at Disney. And one of the first questions he likes to ask people is: Where do you get your best ideas? In the shower? (Yes.) Out walking? (Yes.) At work? (Not often enough.) That’s something he’d like to change.

Who better to show us what that’s likely to mean and how we can position our own businesses to join the journey than the person who kept the media giant on the creative cutting edge during some of its most innovative years? As Head of Innovation and Creativity at Disney from 2011 to 2017, Duncan and his team helped Imagineering, Lucasfilm, Marvel, Pixar and Disney Parks to create magical new storylines and experiences.

He now brings his extensive Disney expertise to audiences around the world using a unique approach to design thinking that teaches people how to capture unlikely connections, leading to fresh thinking and disruptive ideas.

Duncan is a regular TED speaker and contributor to Fast Company, Forbes & the Harvard Business Review. He also teaches innovation master classes at Yale, Harvard and Edinburgh University.
