Drive toward Meaningful Change

INSPIRE EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT

Innovation Development

Change is part of our lives. The best companies are launching new innovations right now. Your competitors are innovating. Are you?

If not, what’s getting in your way? In today’s economy speed wins. Playing it safe is no longer safe. As we make decisions, ranging from big moves to everyday continuous improvement, all too often the weight of the world rests on the shoulders of a few. The nagging impulse to avoid mistakes, get it right, and not lose ground can paralyze our ability to try new things. Accordingly, many people and companies remain stuck in the quicksand of the status quo.

We break roadblocks. We work top-to-bottom to ignite the fuse that fuels systemic and sustainable change.

Innovation Jumpstart

Break roadblocks and trigger change in 30 days.

Our Innovation Jumpstart delivers quick-wins. Engage employees as active participants in small-scale workshops to attack a particular problem or challenge. With the Innovation Jumpstart, employees have a voice at the table, and a stake in the outcome. When given the opportunity to contribute, employees step up. Employees appreciate when management trusts them to solve problem.

The Jumpstart is a structured process that consists of two half-day workshops:

  1. Idea Development Workshop – a half-day session using a structured process, during which a diverse group of employees develop, share and fine-tune ideas for how to do things better. These action-packed, fast-paced workshops provide every participant a chance to be heard without judgement.
  2. Action Development Workshop – participants from the Idea Development Workshop develop action plans for how to implement the Top 3 ideas. Working in several small teams, participants are challenged to figure out how to pilot an idea quickly and inexpensively.

In the Idea Workshop, participants learn how to develop ideas pertinent to a specific issue, think through ideas, share ideas with others, collaborate in small teams, and prioritize the Top 2-3 ideas from the session. In the Action Workshop, participants learn what it takes to implement their ideas, the coordination and effort required. They also learn how to work in small teams, how to measure impact of their project, and how to present their plan to leadership for resources to move ahead.

Innovation Development

Innovation can be a lot of things. If you think it doesn’t apply to your company, think again. Innovation can mean –

  • Improving customer service
  • Making a process more efficient
  • Faster quote turnaround
  • New products or services
  • Continuous improvement
  • Adding new equipment
  • Reorganizing
  • Eliminating waste
  • Improving quality
  • Speeding up delivery
  • Enhancing customer relations
  • And much, much more.

The list is endless. Making each of those work takes people. People working together. At its core, innovation is engaging people to drive change. To make what they do better. The best innovations come from the employees in your organization who know how things really get done today and how they could get done better. Employee engagement is the heart and soul of innovation that achieves performance.

Developing a workplace where innovation is part of everyday life energizes your employees. Imagine your organization if –

  • Change is welcome
  • Employees thrive on sharing ideas
  • Employees work together to try new things
  • Pride is built around doing things better and faster to serve the customer

These are characteristics of organizations that value Innovation. You won’t get there overnight. That’s where our crawl – walk – run approach comes in. Our Innovation workshops foster safe, trusting environments for employees to share ideas and figure out how to make them work. Let’s customize an Innovation Development process that gets your firm on the fast track –
