Course Overview
Encouraging innovation & creativity as a manager isn’t easy. From juggling competing priorities to overcoming internal resistance, there are a lot of challenges that can get in your way. Additionally, if your company is particularly risk-averse, then finding new solutions to existing problems could feel impossible.
In Innovate at Work, you’ll learn tools to help you think more broadly and deeply to turn up solutions that might surprise you! Starting with an in-depth analysis of your current work processes, we’ll learn how to come up with new ideas, how to conduct experiments to test them, and how to measure the impact of each innovation so that you can find the most effective solution to work problems.
Course Objectives
At the end of the course, learners should be able to:
- Analyse business or work processes to improve effectiveness in the organisation
- Generate diverse ideas or solutions for work process innovation or improvements
- Test solutions for effective implementation
- Monitor the effectiveness of solutions implemented for further improvement
Approach to Learning
Our Critical Core Skills programmes are engaging and interactive. Our learning methods include integrated gamification (Lego!), blended learning, reflective practice, group discussions and scenarios. Come prepared to be involved and to learn from our faculty and your peers. Assessment methods include: written tests, reflective journals, oral presentations and project work. In addition, post-programme learning is anchored by a variety of ways, including an invitation to join a post-learning community, and in some modules, 1 to 1 coaching.
The average faculty-learner ratio is 1:15. Modules are on a part-time basis. Our learners are adults who are preparing for a career transition, job change or re-entry into the workforce. They are also working professionals and executives who manage change at the workplace. Finally, they are leaders who need to support business resilience and transformation. Job roles include executives, managers, senior executives and business or team leaders.
