Course Outline

Premise

 

Innovation is more than a ‘head’ game.  It requires head, heart and body. This seminar is designed to be experiential and to fully engage you in exploring your own views on your current and future effectiveness as an innovator and innovation catalyst. The instructors combine their academic and practical experience in the world of innovation and NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) to create an inspiring and thought-provoking event.

Course Pre-Work

  1. Consider those people in your life who have inspired you to be innovative. What were the common factors? What was it that differentiated them that made a difference for you?

  2. Write down the three things that you believe inhibit your personal effectiveness as an innovator and the three things that get in the way of your organization being more innovative.

  3. Consider the organizational cultures that you would like to influence. What is the most important change you would like to help bring about and how would that improve business performance?
