FREE Webinar - Innovation is All About Change

The hardest part of making any change is taking that first step. We may point our shoulders in the direction we want to travel, but planning our change journey and mapping the steps to get there can still feel overwhelming. This is true for co-creation and open innovation projects, change programs — even personal change.

Often it helps to be with others who are on a similar path. It also helps to have tools that simplify steps and offer motivation. I’m delighted to invite you to an exclusive conversation/webinar with me and my friends at CoDev (including host Cheryl Perkins of Innovationedge) on Thursday, January 15, 2015 at 12 pm ET.

In this interactive 60-minute session, I will share key tools and guidelines from my new, not-yet-published book from Palgrave Macmillan and give you some insights into what is in my new collaborative, visual change planning toolkit.

I will discuss:

  • How organizational change and project/ portfolio management tie together
  • Useful frameworks to move from the ‘what’ to the ‘how’
  • Best (and next) Innovation practices
  • Roles and responsibilities based on the Nine Innovation Roles (from his last book Stoking Your Innovation Bonfire.)
  • How innovation is all about change

I encourage your questions and look forward to dialogue with you, other members of your senior management team, and anyone else you think might have interest in the intersection of change initiatives, project management, and innovation.

Partners Wanted - Taking Nine Innovation Roles Global I was in Boston, MA last week for the Front End of Innovation conference and had the opportunity to train dozens of potential corporate Nine Innovation Roles trainers as part of my quest to set the Nine Innovation Roles free and make this powerful tool available for people to use to improve the effectiveness of their innovation teams and the overall innovation capability of the organization.

Now it is time for the next step, to train other service providers from all around the world on the Nine Innovation Roles so they can use it with their customers.

Already, we have a Spanish language version of the cards and resources in process.

For interested service providers, there are only a few small requirements for becoming a Nine Innovation Roles training partner:

  1. Translate this page on my site (see Spanish example) – will publish and give translation credit with 1-2 links to first translator of each language
  2. Translate this page on my web site – will publish and give translation credit with 1-2 links to first translator of each language
  3. #1 and #2 will allow me to get a translated version of the Nine Innovation Roles cards design created for you
  4. Translate the Nine Innovation Roles presentation embedded in #1 (can leverage #1)
  5. Translate the Nine Innovation Roles worksheet I link to in #1 (can leverage #1)

Webinar – Winning the War for Innovation – September 12th

Leave a reply

Webinar - Winning the War for InnovationTomorrow, September 12, 2012 at 11am EDT (GMT -5:00) I will be presenting a webinar in cooperation with Imaginatik, a leader in the idea management software category.

The webinar is titled ‘Winning the War for Innovation‘ and we’ll be helping you take a look at whether or not you’re ready to accept that innovation has become a top priority.

Innovation has become a key source of competitive advantage, and the companies that thrive are those that innovate on a consistent basis – like Amazon and General Electric. Failing to innovate will put you on a straight, but treacherous path to extinction.

I will explain why innovation is so crucial today, and investigate the importance of building a continuous innovation capacity.

  1. How product cycles have fundamentally changed
  2. How global competition affects innovation
  3. How to build an innovation vision
  4. How to ‘make time’ for innovation

The world’s leading companies commit to embedding innovation deeply into their organizations. It becomes part of their DNA. Developing a consistent ability to innovate distinguishes today’s winners from losers.

Which group do you want your company to be a part of?

So, join me for this exclusive webinar Tomorrow, Wednesday, September 12, 2012.

VIDEO – Mobilizing Your Innovation Army

Leave a reply

In collaboration with IIR and the Back End of Innovation conference, I hosted a webinar last year titled ‘Mobilizing Your Innovation Army’ examining how organizations can engage the hearts, minds, and eyes of employees into the innovation efforts of the organization. Here is a video recording from the webinar:

Too much of the time the innovation conversation focuses on whether someone is innovative or not. We waste far too much time focusing on how people can become more innovative instead of stopping to think about the possibility that everyone is innovative in their own way.

The lone innovator myth needs to die.

Great ‘lone innovators’ like Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Edison had teams of people surrounding them and helping them succeed.

Innovation is a team sport, and in this webinar we will take a look at how to engage your entire workforce in the innovation process by leveraging The Nine Innovation Roles to harness the different unique innovation capabilities that we all possess. We are all innovative in our own ways, and The Nine Innovation Roles help you evaluate your current workforce and provide insight into how to mobilize an innovation army.

In this recording of my webinar for the Back End of Innovation conference, I focus on:

  • The importance of building a common language of innovation
  • How to destroy the lone innovator myth
  • Ways to use The Nine Innovation Roles
  • Why big innovations often start small
  • How everyone can make a difference for innovation

I do a lot of work as a social business and innovation speaker at events all around the world. If you’d like me to speak at your company or event, please contact me.
