What Innovation Workshops are Available?
Our most popular workshop is Successful Innovation: Principles and
Practices. Nominees learn a world-class approach to innovation with
The Innovation Workgroup System, a three-step innovation process, at
the center. For corporate managers, we offer Building and Leading a
Culture of Innovation. Additional workshops are available for
innovation in specific functions, such as marketing, strategy and HR,
and for specific innovation methods and tools, such as skilled
interviewing, TRIZ and design thinking.
What Makes Our Workshops So Successful?
Three points distinguish us from most corporate trainers. First, your
associates are at the center, not the trainer. Our workshops use
leading-edge practices in adult learning to assure that learning is
engaging and memorable. Second, our trainers are exceptionally dynamic
and interactive. They hold the attention of the nominees. Third, each
workshop is customized for you. We focus on your business challenges
and your desired outcomes.
What are Some Examples of “Leading-Edge Practices in Adult
Learning?”
The essence of student-centered learning is that the learner, not
the trainer, is the main actor. Some of the activities through which
your associates will learn the material include discussions,
evaluations, drawing and coloring, role playing and placing stickers
on posters. At times, we have been known to hand one participant a gun
and instruct him to shoot another participant. That exercise is
particularly memorable!
What Outcome Can We Expect From a Workshop?
Let us stress that no one becomes an expert innovator in a
workshop, and no company or culture can be transformed through one
workshop. Still, much can be accomplished. First, participants learn a
new way to view and approach innovation. Second, they become exposed
to and familiar with (but not skilled in the use of) the tools and
methods of world-class innovation. Most importantly, they become
excited about the possibility of creating breakthrough,
profit-improving solutions for your company. And, when you assign an
innovation challenge for the workshop participants to address, you get
all the innovative solutions that they conceive during the session.
