What You Can Expect

Improving Your Organization's Performance

To grow in today's business environment, companies need to innovate in every corner of their organization. The good news is that while the word "innovation" calls to mind visionaries such as Steve Jobs, executives need not be exceptional visionaries to succeed as innovation leaders. Rather, they must be able to create the context in which other people are willing and able to innovate together.

This bold, new program examines innovation as an essential leadership capability. But rather than emphasize product- or strategy-focused innovation, it illuminates the social processes that enable and inspire routine, company-wide innovation.

Drawing on the latest research in leadership and innovation, this hands-on program engages you in an exploration of the inner workings of innovation. With a new level of insight into the role leaders play in nurturing innovative problem-solving, you will emerge ready to eliminate obstacles to collaboration, unleash the collective genius in your colleagues, and enable innovation that delivers value to the business.

Taking Your Skills to the Next Level

This program demystifies innovation by helping you experience how collaboration and innovation really work in practice. As you gain a more visceral understanding of how leaders can help talented people work together productively to enable business growth, you will become better able to:

  • Create a culture that promotes both incremental and breakthrough innovation
  • Help all areas of your organization innovate more consistently—and more boldly
  • Foster a new level of peer-to-peer collaboration by creating an environment in which people can take risks and learn from failure
  • Develop a leadership style in which you empower others by modeling and encouraging behaviors that drive creative thinking and collaboration
  • Work effectively with peers and upper management to facilitate necessary cultural change in the organization and realize the potential of innovative ideas
