Creativity & exploitable innovation

 

This is a service offering you completely tailored creative problem solving sessions and help in developing an innovative culture and innovation programme for your organisation.

 

Innovation and change is complex. In an effort to understand it and make it understandable many people fall back on simplistic structural approaches to redesigning people, products and organisations. These inevitably fail because it is the people and the way they behave that permits new ways of working to function, or not. It is not the systems and structures. We will help you to step back, introduce the tools to help you see the world in new ways, the techniques to help people listen and be truly collaborative. We support the enduring change that can result by helping you to invent and implement new ways of working. We can also help you develop the skills and capabilities to go on and support yourselves.

 

 

Your business and why you need this

 

You can no longer see the wood for the trees. Your products and services no longer seem as attractive to the market place. The ideas that are discussed in the firm are old and stale; maybe you don't have any ideas at all. People seem to have lost their zest for doing new things and nobody has the energy to take on the challenge of doing something new.

 

What to bring to the programme

 

A sense of what you want to achieve, who you want to involve and when you want it to happen.

 

The programme experience

 

Depending upon your specific needs you can expect to be introduced to:

  • Behavioural tools for collaborative effort
  • Creative problem solving tools
  • Profiling tools to help people develop clearer understanding of one another
  • Leadership development programmes

Benefits to you and your organisation

 

Innovation is scary because it means leaving behind what you know, however unsatisfactory that may be, and taking a risky journey into the unknown. Having an innovation programme means that you will have:

  • A map to use for guiding you on your journey - helping you to make informed choices and reducing the risk of losing your way
  • The tools for creative problem solving - giving you the capability to bring together diverse groups in order to get fresh ideas and take them to action
  • A shared language for talking about uncertainty and risk - helping you to communicate in those areas where you don't know the answers so that you can create clear plans to take the organisation forwards
  • Have a process for taking new ideas to market quickly - beating the competition
