In Detail.
As stated, the first half of the day is identical to the half day workshop “INNOVATION THINKING FOR LEFT BRAINED PROFESSIONALS”.
The second half explores more deeply the nature of innovation, and why teams tend to be less effective than individuals under traditional management methods.
We also explode some common myths about Innovation Thinking (eg you have to be a nonconformist, or artistic), which cause people to self exclude from the Innovation process, instead leaving it up to the “Ideas People” in the team.
We then focus on the key habits of teams that excel at Innovation Thinking. In particular, we develop a management method which effectively replaces negative/conservative rejection of new ideas with a more open discussion format.
