社會競爭激烈，創新思維有助個人脫穎而出。香港理工大學專業進修學院(SPEED)於2009年3月14日舉辦了「創新思維Makeover研討會」，請來嘉賓分享不同工作、管理及進修經歷，藉此激發參加者思維。
Lee Hecht Harrison (LHH) 大中華區策略及發展總監徐可妮認為，每個人的職業去向發展，都要考慮3個基本問題︰包括「你現在於甚麼位置﹖」、「你的目標是什麼﹖」及「你如何達到目標﹖」這3條問題既有助個人的事業管理，亦有助管理層運用有限的資源，做有效的事情。她以一位印度醫生作例子，講述如何打破傳統醫生固有的形象，將事業推至另一層面，由「專才」變成「通才」。印度這位醫生發現病人保持心境快樂，會有助紓緩病情，於是成立Laugh Club，呼籲人們在公園大笑及做一些伸展運動。他將專業延伸，用普及方法令更多人受惠。
SPEED院長暨University of Birmingham Executive MBA課程統籌羅文強博士，亦在研討會上分享他的管理經驗。他認為，管理不同的人需應用不同的方法，身居策略性職級，便不可能再運用單一的思維，而是要擁有更全面的視野，擔當管理工作。

Ms. Connie Burchfield, Regional Director of Strategy and Development, Greater China, from Lee Hecht Harrison (LHH) suggested that three basic questions should be considered in career development: 1. Where are you now? 2. Where are you going? and 3. How are you going to get there? These questions not only help in career management, but also in the effective use of resources. At the seminar, an Indian doctor's case was quoted to explain how professionals can bring their career to a different level creatively.
Dr. Jack Lo, Director of SPEED and Programme Leader of University of Birmingham's Executive MBA programme, also shared that in his experience, various different management approaches should be adopted for different people at different functional departments.
