1st Week. New context: a world of black swans
We will discover new perspectives and new mental models to build and lead our company in a complex and rapidly changing world. We will learn new mental frameworks for innovation and we will work on how to foster creativity within our daily lives, and how to train this skill needed for innovation to occur.
We will draw up a map of your culture and innovation portfolio, identifying your current strengths, weaknesses and possible blind spots. We will add to your current business new models aligned with the trends that are revolutionizing all economic sectors. Together we will create innovative experiences that address the challenges and opportunities identified at all levels of the organization.
2nd Week. Organization as an innovation system
We’ll see how agility and collaboration are critical to business success in a connected world, and how newly emerging organizations are designed for speed, agility, and adaptability, enabling them to balance operational efficiency with exploring new opportunities in the global economy.
We will learn to see the organization, not as a machine but as an open innovation ecosystem, and accelerate the transformation based on networked autonomous teams, aligned with the strategy and coordinated by an agile and collaborative culture.
3rd Week. Design thinking: innovative and agile solutions
We will develop creative confidence as a competence that can be strengthened and nurtured through effort and experience. The best way to gain creative confidence is through action, encouraging creativity within our work environment, taking one step at a time, through experiencing a series of small successes.
We will learn the Design Thinking methodology and work together to generate innovative solutions to the key business challenges, what we can use to accelerate our growth, launch new initiatives and promote a new culture of innovation that anticipates the emerging needs of our clients.
4th Week. The new leader’s role as social architect
Leadership in an agile organization requires purpose, empathy, inclusion, and collaboration. These are competencies very different from traditional command and control.
In this week we will explore new mental models for building and leading organizations in a world of accelerated change, we will develop the key competencies of leadership by influence, and we will look at new systemic models for change to accelerate transformation at all levels of the organization.
5th Week. Business agility as a strategic skill
This week we will look at the critical capabilities we need as an organization to achieve the business agility we need to anticipate an opportunity or threat, to adapt and to react efficiently and effectively: Shared purpose, transformational leadership, autonomous teams of networked professionals, rapid decision and learning cycles, agile and iterative processes, and new business models based on innovation platforms and ecosystems.
We will learn to detect and take advantage of new innovation opportunities before competitors, to transfer resources, organizational talent, and management focus to new strategic initiatives. We will also address the operational agility needed to maintain results while exploring new opportunities that disruption brings.
6th Week. Accelerating your innovation initiatives
This week we help you to launch MPV’s with innovative and agile solutions to business challenges and we will create an innovation ecosystem capable of anticipating change, adapting to it, and providing creative solutions to emerging customer needs. We will do this by applying the new skills we have developed and by adopting new ways of working in agile and effective autonomous teams.
The goal is to create an innovation map for each organizational area that will serve as a guide for accelerating the strategy based on the adoption of new behaviors and forms of collaborative work. As far as possible, a portfolio of reference collaborative initiatives will be built and validated for further scaling.
