Workshop: Creating an innovative organisation

Innovation doesn't happen ‘out of the blue'. It is a conscious and deliberate process that requires challenging existing knowledge, letting go of old habits and assumptions, and the shaping of something new. Invariably, innovation involves change, and, being a means to an end and not an end in itself, it should lead to the creation of new value.

Creating an innovative organisation tends to involve changing behaviours - not only of others, but usually most importantly your own! If you want people to change and embrace values and behaviours that lead to innovation, it is up to you to create the right conditions and to give them relevant and convincing reasons!

This practical, action oriented workshop explores how organisations can create the right conditions for innovation to thrive.
