Confidence to Innovate

A course aimed at increasing your ‘Confidence to Innovate’, which belongs to a series of two day courses ‘Vision to Action’ and ‘Built to Last’, which make up a short programme aimed at increasing your capability to ‘Deliver Innovation and Change at pace’.  The programme is founded upon the notion that there is a definable need to:                

• Inspire organisations (in particular Ms of SMEs) to learn again and address the ‘I only know what I know’ constraint                    
• Gather practical insights into ‘what works’ in Operational Performance Improvement                    
• Experience a safe learning environment to bust common myths and challenge what we do Operationally                    
• Be part of a community of innovative organisations to increase your confidence to ‘do something better’ or ‘do something differently’                    
• Facilitate a greater self-awareness of how to improve personal productivity                    

On successful completion of this ‘Confidence to Innovate’ course, the delegates will be able to:                

• Demonstrate a critical appreciation of what it takes to make innovation happen                    
• Evidence a synthesis of the theoretical underpinnings of the course to demonstrate how that has been applied to increase levels of innovation at a personal and organisational level                    
• Critically evaluate personal efficacy and own styles of leadership to influence and support innovation, and actively assess impact on individuals, teams and organisation                    

Agenda                

Day 1 – Creating an Environment for Innovation

• Discover how to engage staff to innovate through a Vision Led Change™ simulation. This high energy, interactive day will stimulate your thinking and bring to life ‘What and How’ you need to change in order to radically improve your current ways of working. It will help get under the covers of how exactly you can achieve more with the same or less, what the journey might look like, and – sometimes more importantly – what the journey might feel like                  
• You will be involved in an activity that will demonstrate how to trigger innovative thinking to deliver a step-change in performance, with group discussions to reflect on how those insights might apply into the everyday world of your own organisation to ‘Do things better, Do things differently’ or even to ‘Do different things’                    
• You will have chance to decode the key features of an innovative organisation whilst relating to your challenges and opportunities for leading innovation                    

Day 2 – Leading People through change

• To explore the paradigm of managing or facilitating people through change                    
• To introduce people and communication challenges through three aspects; as a leader, as a team and as an individual                    
• Widen insight into how these aspects have been used by other organisations to achieve innovation/ successful change                    
• To practice and explore how                    
  • A leader can utilise flexible leadership styles and approaches for leading innovation/ driving change                            
  • To examine features of building a high performing team                            
  • To examine approaches for motivating individuals and associated influencing styles                            
  • Examine different people and communication ‘scenarios’ to reflect different interventions along the three aspects
