Bob Dunham Presents
Leading Edge Practices For Innovation
Innovation is a competitive necessity in today’s business and organizational world, yet innovation has been mysterious and difficult to produce for all but a rare few.
Bob Dunham addresses this cultural blind spot around innovation in his book, The Innovator’s Way, revealing the essential practices of successful innovation from the study of successful innovators. The sources of innovation have almost exclusively been dealt with previously as process, policy, and leadership producing the current dismal success rate. The missing dimension of innovation the co-author reveals is the essential personal skills of the individual innovator, which also define successful organizational practices.
You will:
· Learn essential innovation skills as observable, executable, learnable, and coachable practices
· Explore the conversations, embodied skills, interpretations, and actions of the individual successful innovator
· Learn how these practices are also the foundation for successful organizational practices of innovation
· Go beyond the book to work with participants on how to diagnose and design new innovation practices for you and your organizations
· Apply essential Innovation practices to your organizations, teams, and communities
