Innovation Management
This two-day training is for leaders who want to steer their organization's renewal deliberately, from idea to implementation. We provide practical tools for every step, from idea generation through selection to rollout.
What is the program about?
A 2-day group training, in person or online; Thod support available on request.
Innovation rarely fails for lack of ideas. There are usually ideas; leadership determines which idea becomes an initiative that is selected, launched and seen through, and what happens to it when the rest of the organization encounters it.
What you take away: a complete toolkit for managing innovation at the individual and organizational level; the knowledge needed to strengthen an innovation culture; a practice that fits your own area, and a concrete initiative to get started with.
Who is the program for?
For leaders who want to steer their organization's renewal deliberately, from idea to implementation. It is especially timely when organizational innovation processes need to be managed deliberately.
When is it worth starting?
- the goal is to strengthen the innovation culture
- you need support from idea generation through evaluation to implementation.
How we work
We go through the three steps of the process and try out the tools at each one: idea generation, analysis and selection of ideas, and finally implementation. We tailor the content to the participating leaders' own initiatives, so everyone goes home with a concrete idea and plan.
The two-day training looks at innovation from the perspective of the leadership role, with an emphasis on its organizational and cultural side. We try out the tools at every step and also cover what it takes for an initiative to take root in the organization: rollout, passing it on, application.
Program topics
- the innovation management process
- the leader's role in innovation management
- supporting idea generation as a leader
- evaluating innovation ideas
- supporting the implementation of innovations: from idea to solution, from solution to results
- resource allocation and monitoring.
Delivery
We tailor the weighting of the topics to the client organization's situation. On request, we support the program with the Thod learning support system, which helps participants keep applying what they have learned between training days.
It is also worth starting if:
- leaders want to launch a concrete initiative in their own area and see it through.
