Building and Sustaining Innovation in your Organisation

Overview

We hear the word innovation in every corporate brief, and see the word in every value statement globally.

• So what makes one organisation more innovative than another?
• Is it possible to improve the `innovation quotient` of the organisation?

There are clear, well-validated methods for creating and sustaining innovation in organisations - all adaptable to size, sector and geography.  Equally there are pitfalls that prevent companies from achieving innovation success. Optimising innovation in all organisations depends on critical, learnable leadership behaviours.

So what is the magic that happens in an innovation machine, from a new idea being created to demonstrable value being realised from it? This seminar will reveal key drivers - human, process and cultural - that fuel, or inhibit, the dynamics of innovation.

You will learn:

• Key leader behaviours that support innovation
• How to build a system of metrics and accountability that sustains and validates innovation
• How to utilise critical thinking processes to support innovation and limit the thinking processes that inhibit it
• Tools and techniques for better idea creation and selection
• A scientifically validated, creative process to drive from fuzzy goals to value-creating solutions

With practical, international examples of successes and failures in the creation of innovation cultures, Bob Eckert will provide a clear, practical perspective on how to drive the innovation culture you need to grow value in your organisation.

This seminar provides the opportunity to use, practise and apply research-based methods and design a roadmap for implementation in your place of work.
