Overview

The time has arrived when "being innovative" is a required core competency not just for organizations, but for every person, in every job, every day. A study by KPMG gave a decisive call to the HR and OD communities to step forward and embrace their proper role in fostering a culture for innovation:

In addition, intellectual capital - the knowledge assets that form the basis for future innovativeness - has become the key measure of future business value and performance. Intellectual capital is a domain of HR and OD that comprises 70-90% of themarket value of knowledge-based companies.

Winning companies first and foremost have developed cultures where innovation is seen as an objective that
employees at all levels and in all roles strive to achieve on a day-to-day basis.
So… What is the role of the Human Resources and Organization Development functions in promoting a culture that actualizes these twin capabilities: enabling innovation in everyday work and growing intellectual capital?

This workshop will give HR and OD functions clarity about their emerging role as a strategic partner to promote and build essential innovation competencies in their various activities, such as:
leadership development, talent development, career progression, training, coaching, performance enhancement, and change management.
