In an earlier Linkage webinar delivered by Lonney Gregory (LinkedIn profile),  he explored behaviors to develop an innovative mindset and stimulate creativity.

In order to stay ahead of the competition, individuals and teams must be creative and innovative.

However … creativity and innovative behaviors alone won’t guarantee innovation initiatives will succeed.

• What if you could hedge your bets on innovation and increase the likelihood of success; would you do it?

In addition to engaging in ways of thinking that inspire breakthroughs, repeatable organizational processes, cultural adaptations, and clearly defined approaches for integrating it all, including handling risks, will significantly increase the likeness of success for innovation in your organizations.

This next session on innovation will introduce three basic concepts that lead toward successfully enabling an innovation capable organization; one that drives innovation throughout the organization.

Learn:

1. Identifying market opportunities using one of the most profound approaches for understanding what consumers and non-consumers want by defining what Clayton Christensen calls the “Job to be Done”
2. How to lead ultra-productive solution seeking sessions based upon the world famous IDEO Design Thinking methodology.
3. Applying principles to overcome what Steven Shapiro calls the performance paradox and for growing high performance teams.
