The Rising Tide:
Six Ways Helping Your Teammates Increases Personal Productivity
Does a rising tide really lift all boats, as JFK once famously claimed? Politicians like to say so, at least in reference to their favored brand of economics. But cynics have pointed out many exceptions to the "rising tide" meme—you could be stuck in the mud; your boat could be full of holes or overloaded with idiots; you don't have a boat; or someone torpedoes your boat. Whatever your economics, there are always some people who can't keep their heads above water in a particular "rising
tide" economy.
Innovate the Way You Innovate: Creating a Pervasive Culture of Innovation
Well-intentioned leaders, in their attempts to boost innovation, are inadvertently destroying it. What if “thinking outside the box” actually kills innovation? What if failure is not a necessary component of innovation? It’s time to innovate the way you innovate. During this customizable and interactive session, you will discover that innovation isn’t just about generating occasional new ideas; it’s about staying consistently one step ahead of the competition.
You will discover why:
You don’t want to innovate everywhere. Avoid trying to improve every aspect of your business. Instead, “innovate where you differentiate.” Focus your energy where there is the greatest potential impact.
Asking for ideas is a bad idea. Avoid suggestion boxes or abstract questions. They create a lot of noise and wasted energy. Instead, provide well-framed challenges to increase creative output. “Don’t think outside the box, find a better box.”
Expertise is the enemy of innovation. Breakthroughs are rarely developed by experts within your industry or area of specialization. Instead, reframe your challenge to find solutions elsewhere.
The pragmatic approaches shared in “Innovate the Way You Innovate” have increased innovation ROI tenfold or more.
Session Includes: Seminar, Breakfast, Lunch, Parking, and Supplementary learning resources.
