This one-day masterclass equips leaders and teams to build a culture of innovation within organisations often focused on quality and efficiency. Participants will assess their own, their team’s, and their organisation’s innovative thinking, explore strategic innovation approaches, and learn practical methods to enhance creativity and innovation across their teams.

The ability to make innovative strategic decisions and execute them effectively is vital for organisational success. Strategic decisions often emerge from aligning organisational capabilities with emerging opportunities in the market. However, the mindset required for comprehensive strategy—such as being detail-oriented or avoiding “analysis paralysis”—can conflict with the creativity needed for innovation.

Innovation is essential not only for identifying and developing capabilities and opportunities but also for capturing the imagination of key stakeholders, whose support determines the success of any strategy. It is equally integral to implementing strategies within the existing culture, people, and processes of an organisation.

This one-day masterclass equips leaders and teams to build a culture of innovation by evaluating their own, their team’s, and their organisation’s innovative thinking. Participants will explore strategic innovation, innovative approaches, and the key components of innovative capability, gaining practical tools to enhance creativity and innovation across their teams and organisations.
