An interactive workshop (that can include the AIR gamification version) which takes leaders on a global innovation journey packed with both historical and contemporary case studies of companies, countries and cultures that successfully and unsuccessfully navigated the innovation pathway. This session helps leaders then reflect on their own leadership style, and how this impacts their culture. For executives, this can go as far as the organizational culture and assessing the current state and action plans transitioning to a desired state. In the process leaders will learn how to change a culture to be more in tune with being innovative and see what sort of climate fosters or eliminates innovation from a cultural perspective.
Through this workshop, leaders will reflect on how they can face their own personal, team and organizational challenges in order to create a positive environment for creative thinking and innovation. Leaders look at over 30 unique case studies, and will discover how to use the paradoxical pairing presented, to come up with a CSSI (conscious strategic situational innovation plan).
In this workshop leaders will learn how it is possible to navigate the key paradoxical challenges that can either frustrate or fuel innovation – and how to develop a sustainable purpose-driven innovation culture to change the game for purpose-driven innovation. Participants learn to consider:
- What values need to drive innovation?
- What organizational culture best supports positive values for sustainable innovation?
- The value of diverse perspectives on creative thinking and innovation
- How cultural awareness can encourage empathy and increase the potential for purpose-driven innovation
- The challenges of the innovation journey, from imagination and ideation to implementation
Can be combined with the Amazing Innovation Race gamification version and a deeper dive of business facilitation session for the more outcomes focused. (Also available under license: Train the Trainer)
