4th Innovation to Execution

There is always something in our organization which we want to change for the better - big

ideas for a process, a product, or a service that if acted on will contribute to positive change and business success. But oftentimes the challenge for us, organizational leaders and stakeholders, is turning these big ideas into innovations.

For our big idea to become a work of innovation, it has to come alive and not just be a remnant of our creative moment that is scribbled on paper, mentally noted, and tagged as a someday maybe. This is why execution should come hand in hand with innovation. Like what one of our greatest innovators, Thomas Edison, said, "Innovation is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration."

This one day intensive application workshop, INNOVATION TO EXECUTION, you will learn the ingredients of intelligent innovation:

1. See Beyond the Present

2. Observe and Analyze

3. Create Something Better

4. Identify Your Resources

Facilitated by Luigi Mapa, this highly interactive workshop will provide a practical approach to innovation within organizations and help participants by:

1. experiencing different EXAMPLES and REAL LIFE CASES of how innovation has

    helped organizations progress despite changing environments;

2. encouraging the use of INNOVATIVE & ADAPTIVE THINKING in process

    improvement, product development, reinventing business models, and/or overall

    organizational building;

3. instilling CREATIVE & COLLABORATIVE PROBLEM SOLVING PROCESSES as

    operating systems among teams and individuals; and

4. enabling team members to DEVELOP INNOVATION INTEGRATION PROJECTS
