Introducing & Driving Innovation Forward

Participants

Limited to 16 participants. Open to the private sector.

Who Should Attend

Middle and Entry Management Level employees that want to better understand what "Innovation" is all about and explore the tools and processes to make it a reality.

Overview

Many people don’t feel they are creative, so helping people see opportunities for innovation in both breakthrough leaps and continuous improvement can generate new ways of thinking. Key concepts to do this include creating idea fluency, applications of red and green light thinking, and using group participation to apply an innovation process.
Current leaders or future ones tap into the power of human potential. They accept that they alone do not have all the answers, customer knowledge, and new ideas needed to move an organization forward. The Innovation Process moves a leader through the steps necessary to turn vision into reality. This process applies where innovation and better methods of doing things are needed.
After completing this workshop, you will be able to identify and encourage idea fluency and facilitate an Innovation Process that moves from possibilities to solutions, essentially to how to establish and maintain a robust, "Innovation" culture in our Organizations.
