In this lightning talk, Lindsey will share the innovation framework she developed to drive change in one of the most change-resistant environments imaginable: the military. She’ll unpack the psychology of resistance, how to identify unlikely allies, and why the loudest skeptics often aren’t the real blockers. Attendees will leave with practical tools for navigating resistance, building credibility, and turning institutional inertia into forward motion — whether in corporate, research, or startup settings.
