Skills and techniques to help people be innovators

Many innovation initiatives begin by focusing on business processes, systems, and product development. While that’s necessary, it’s not sufficient. The critical piece of innovation in organizations is the “people” side of the equation. In order to develop the skills, attitudes and behaviors of your people with respect to innovation, we’ve developed training and coaching programs that start with the basics (creativity tools and techniques) and extend into high-level programs to radically transform the way people think and act.

Our training and coaching programs focus in the following areas:
Thinking More Creatively
Methods to Use When Seeking Innovation
Skills for Facilitating Innovation Sessions
Mastering Relationships for Innovation
Leadership Behaviors For Innovation

No two organizations are alike, so we usually customize our programs to meet our clients’ specific needs. We do, of course, have some stock programs as well, which we use as a starting point in our discussion of your needs.

Training That Pays For Itself*

New & Improved courses are designed to stand alone or in concert with other organizational development efforts, and work on real-world organizational challenges that usually yield greater value to the company than the actual cost of the programs (including the value of the employees’ “non-productive” time in the training!).

Frank the GatorWant to attend another boring, useless, flavor of the month training? Well, we sure hope not! But if you’re interested in learning how to deliberately solve problems and create incredible results, we’ve got some powerful processes and techniques for you. Whether we deliver the program in a meeting room, a kitchen, or on-board a 40–foot yacht, you’ll walk away with the ability to turn on your creativity at will, and apply it to problem solving. And all the while you’ll be working hard, laughing hard, playing hard, and wondering where the time went. We can’t guarantee that you’ll stay dry (especially if you’re on a boat), but we can assure you that you’ll leave with a different mind–set. Who knows, you might even learn something more than the name of another training firm to avoid!
