Leading innovation for business owners

Innovation isn't just ideas or invention and is not exclusive to big companies with R&D and innovation teams. It is also not just the business owner's responsibility.
This specialised managerial training is tailored to develop the fundamental abilities and know-how required to unleash small business's potential.
The outcomes include where to find opportunities to innovate, understanding everyone's roles in fostering and implementing innovation within the organization, employing effective language and questioning strategies to change mindsets and perspectives on innovation, and learning how to integrate creativity-boosting mechanisms into your business.

The program includes:
Management training as mentioned above
Participants will also acquire a toolbox of divergent creative techniques to ignite employees’ innovative capabilities.
Follow-up innovation coaching sessions are used to contextualise and help solve specific challenges of the managers involved.
An online self-assessment gauges a manager’s effectiveness in leading teams and generating optimal creative output. This tool serves as a means for self-reflection and as a standard for future assessments.
If your company is really serious about building an innovation engine, then it needs to upgrade everyone’s innovation skills, agree on what counts as innovation, establish comprehensive metrics, hold leaders accountable for innovation, and retool its management processes so they foster innovation everywhere, all the time. These can’t be isolated initiatives; they must work in harmony.'
