Creating a Culture of Innovation In An Uncertain and Disruptive World

Corpul profesoral

 

Creating Innovation in an Uncertain and Disruptive World is a one-day course that enables you to understand how to leverage innovation to respond to change. The course focuses on the people, processes, and philosophy of innovative organisations to help you develop your ability to innovate by generating more ideas and putting them into action. It explores the behaviours of innovation leaders, and subsequently the process of how innovators turn their ideas into reality. It also explains how leaders and organisations adapt their culture, structure, and processes to make room for innovation. These insights are based on research, including the world’s most innovative companies.

More specifically, the course offers insights into ideation, design thinking, agile methodologies, and business model innovation. However, rather than offering these as fragmented approaches, this course integrates these disparate frameworks into a single, end-to-end framework for testing innovative ideas, and enables you to understand how an organisation that is defined by and developed around execution can adapt itself to foster and drive innovation.

Whether you are caught in the middle of digital (or other) disruption, or you want to innovate within your organisation, Innovation in an Uncertain and Disruptive World will provide you with a comprehensive set of tools to adapt to today’s VUCA world.

This course is a perfect combination between training and coaching, delivering a unique experience to the participants. The webinar will be highly interactive.
