Managing Innovation
In this program, participants will come to see the management of innovation as a powerful and practical way to create value by selecting and exploiting the best new ideas — both for improvement and for radical change in products, processes, positioning, or paradigm.
Participants will learn to incorporate innovation management skills and processes into their jobs by absorbing the results of research on exceptionally innovative organizations; they will put that knowledge to work through structured activities, cases, and skill practice. They will simulate an “innovation journey” and will practice many of the skills and tools used by the most successful innovation managers.
Exercising Influence
This accelerated learning program uses a “fitness model” to help develop strength, focus, and flexibility as an influencer. Feedback—gathered before, during, and after the program—provides valuable insights into individual strengths and learning needs. Learn new skills as you work on real-world business situations. Through a series ofexercises, learn how to plan and prepare for important influence opportunities up, down, across, and outside your organization. Exercising Influence™ is a just-in-time learning opportunity, enabling immediate application of new skills to resolve problems and conflicts and achieve outstanding business results.
