Course overview

When organisations rely on old ways of working, they struggle to adapt to new market pressures. Department heads and supervisors need methods to encourage their teams to generate and test new approaches. Standing still is not an option.

During this week of training, delegates cover the practical steps required to build a culture of innovation. The sessions look at how to research and apply new concepts. Delegates also examine ways to motivate staff to improve their performance, and methods for turning workplace problems into new business opportunities. The material explains the difference between constant improvement and true innovation, using detailed examples from successful companies across several industries to show how theoretical ideas work in practice.

The week then moves from leadership strategy into specific team exercises. Delegates practise using the General Electric Workout model. They also explore how profiling helps identify creative potential, and apply Kotter's change management techniques. The final day focuses on the mechanics of communicating urgency to the wider business and managing the specific structural changes required to implement those new ideas successfully.
