Traditional training-focused development has been proven to be a low-return investment. The best development is based on Action Learning – where associates are immediately engaged with real and personal challenges that require new approaches that create authentic engagement and powerful learning that “sticks.” 

Our client organizations typically identify a strategy, problem or set of challenges where the solution(s) would create important financial or strategic returns that are relevant to the business. Your own people provide those solutions through impactful programs for executive teams, senior leaders, operational managers and general audiences . 

We often begin with an Executive Dialogue, which presents data on an organization’s “innovation readiness” to senior leaders and key stakeholders and pinpoints internal strengths and barriers to an innovation business solution (1 day).

​From there, components are combined for a tailored solution that turns leaders into Innovation Champions who in turn create a Culture of Innovation. This transformation is aided by widespread application of our Innovation Essentials course to create a common vocabulary throughout the organization.

​An expanded team of leaders can create an Innovation Strategy Map using the Innovation Equation  – the blueprint for successful transformation (2 days).

​You can achieve a million-dollar returns and cutting-edge Innovation Champions by convening groups of up to 40 operational leaders, broken into small teams to create innovative solutions to the key challenges holding you back (7 days).
