Innovation is firmly on the agenda of organizations, large or small, public or private. A global survey of over 1,400 executives and senior managers conducted by management consultancy McKinsey in September 2007 found that “some 70% of corporate leaders say innovation is among their top three priorities for driving growth.” The survey also found that just over a quarter of executives felt that innovation had become part of “everything their organization does.” In your organization you are expected to play a fundamental role in creating and delivering innovation in the business world of today. This seminar focuses on you and your role as an innovation catalyst. It addresses the critical questions: Are you the innovator that you want to be, and are you effectively helping your own organization as well as your suppliers, customers, and clients to become innovative?
What you will learn:
How to access and anchor your own high performance innovation state Develop a deeper understanding of obstacles to innovation from the human perspective Gain insights into the systemic nature of an innovation culture, and the elements that need to be aligned within yourself and within an organization Identify conditions that are required for innovation to thrive Experience leadership behaviors that encourage and support innovation and create awareness of your own impact Develop a plan for action for your role as an innovator and innovation catalyst
Who should attend:
Those wanting to create innovative organizations Those wanting to understand barriers to creating innovative organizations, and how to overcome them Those having been tasked to make their organizations more innovative Those leading innovation projects Those wanting to sell innovative projects (internally or externally) -
Those that recognize that their passion for design and innovation may have dimmed under the relentless pressures of work
How you will benefit:
Mohandas Ghandi said, “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” This is an opportunity to spend a day and half focusing on your own ability to create and sustain an innovation culture within yourself and effectively influence the innovation culture of your own and your clients’ organizations.
