In brief
With the incompany training "Getting started with innovation in your team," you will learn together with your colleagues to work innovatively in daily practice. In one day, you will discover what makes innovation successful, get introduced to approaches like Design Thinking and agile working, and design a small experiment that you can test tomorrow. Step by step, you will build a culture where new ideas become second nature.
Do you see opportunities in digital innovation but struggle to recognize solutions for your organization? Do you want to work with your team to identify, develop, and apply innovative solutions? In this workshop, you will work with your team to initiate a new work culture. Develop new skills and ensure that (digital) innovation is welcomed with open arms and a curious mindset.
But, what is innovation?
Innovation in your work means looking creatively at your tasks and finding inspiration to be as effective as possible. The goal is to be future-proof—both as an organization and in your own role.
The program
During this workshop, we alternate between:
- Theory about success factors of innovation and innovative work methods;
- Discussions to reflect on your own innovation capacity;
- Exercises to apply innovation on a small scale, so you can immediately start implementing it in your daily practice.
Part 1: Necessity and success factors for innovation
We delve into the basics of innovative work. We explore how innovation works, which success factors contribute to innovative work, and how to develop competencies within your team.
Part 2: Innovative work methods
We examine the Design Thinking philosophy. What does it entail, and how do you apply it? What does agile working mean, and why would you organize a hackathon or design sprint?
Part 3: From idea to experiment
From ideas and inspiration, we work toward a small, executable experiment that can be tested tomorrow. Experience how to leverage each other's talents.
