Growth and Innovation: Embracing and Driving Change

Without creativity, our leaders are faced with solving tomorrow’s problems with yesterday’s solutions... and that just won’t work. Innovative leaders understand their role in driving creativity and change to successfully produce continued growth and profitability. This workshop offers a perfect mix of techniques and learning activities to influence leaders at all levels to identify ways to become more innovative. Participants will identify strategies to challenge norms, stay open to new ideas, and take risks while taking ownership of their role and influence toward their team’s creative climate.

At the conclusion of this course, leaders will be able to:

• Explain techniques to generate, evaluate, and present new ideas.
• Describe multiple tools and a process to move innovative ideas.
• List ways to add more creativity into their leadership style.
