Description
In this engaging and hands-on workshop participants learn how to interact with leadership – from direct managers to the C-suite – in order to get the resources required to drive real impact. Many enterprises stick “innovation” out in pasture, hoping against hope it will grow into something worthwhile. But what if that innovation silo could be leveraged into solving both near term issues, as well as laying the foundation for future growth? Examine examples and tools to help you understand where you are on the innovation transformation journey and what you need to do next to make progress, and how to do it. You must practice lean innovation to create a lean-innovating organization. Get started with the 3 E’s of Lean Innovation: Empathy – Experiments – Evidence. Learn how to apply these principals to successfully interact with company leadership in order to drive near term impact that leads to greater investment and a bigger role for the innovation team.
