Consulting
We offer five points of entry depending on where you find your greatest opportunity. Review the core questions below, seek which strike a chord with you and then let’s begin our journey. Together we can design an approach to innovation that clearly maps a path to success.
Strategy in Focus:
How will you focus?
Chart the Organization Topography in which we see beyond the organization chart to reveal important dimensions that influence behavior.
Define the Explicit & Tacit Priorities for innovation and new product efforts to create a meaningful foundation for expectations-setting and commitment management.
Vision in Play:
How will you play?
Conduct Strategic Innovation Mapping to determine how innovation should build on and capitalize on your best practices.
Plan for robust Strategic Innovation Implementation in which we seek to appreciate what you do well (demonstrated best performances, and capitalize on it so that you can grow beyond your current innovation constraints).
Social Network in Action:
How will you support?
Develop a program for Social Network Capital Management based on social network analysis to capitalize on the key experts, brokers, advocates, and orienteers across your organization.
Instruct in the art of Social Orienteering so that those engaged in the innovation process have the skills to navigate the social and political terrain across an organization.
Leadership in Innovation:
How will you lead?
Design Innovation Leadership Labs to create leaders at all levels of the innovation process.
Support Coaching for Impact to provide behavior modeling and goal-based performance management that will foster continuous innovation performance improvement.
United in Meaning:
How will you sustain?
Install the Communication for Change program – Building Moments / Building Momentum – to create positive points of leverage.
Create Opportunities to Entice by defining actions (quick wins), and pro-actions (“what’s next” thinking) that make participation a fact and not an option.
