Innovation… From Vision to Reality

You may have read about innovation, heard about innovation and maybe even tried to be innovative. But you may not truly understand the process of innovation. Innovation is not the result of a lone genius. It is a collaborative process where people from many different parts of the organization contribute to the creation and implementation of new ideas.

Many of the world’s most successful innovators, from Thomas Edison to choreographer Twyla Tharp, concede that you cannot force innovation - you have to develop it. That is, you can enhance your capacity to generate innovation, and adopt what Tharp calls the “creative habit.”  These creative habits are the foundation for a contemporary process that fosters innovation in the workplace.

In this course, you will engage in the process of creating, developing and implementing innovation. Test your innovations and identify strategies to ensure successful implementation. Gain knowledge in how to use the innovation process to improve your work processes, team interaction, organizational structures, etc. Apply this process directly to your own issues, concerns and opportunities. Leave this workshop ready to implement the innovations you develop.

You’ll find that the trick to innovation is not in the tools, but in knowing how to use the tools and through a process from idea generation to innovation implementation. You’ll not only learn in this course, you’ll leave with a project to implement upon returning to your organization.
