Innovation Skills for Leaders and Managers Workshop
Early-bird price of £295

When innovation is lacking, organisations lose their ability to adapt and grow. Processes become rigid, ideas go unheard, and decision-making turns cautious rather than creative.
Over time this stifles collaboration, disengages high performers, and weakens your competitive edge. The result is a culture focused on maintaining the status quo rather than driving progress. Organisations that aren’t adapting die.
What are the learning outcomes?
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
- Define what innovation means and explain why it is vital to success.
- Recognise different types of innovation — from “new to me” through to “new to the world” — and identify where their organisation currently operates on the innovation spectrum.
- Understand the leadership role in fostering innovation, including how behaviours, mindset, and structure influence creativity.
- Create an environment that promotes innovation by removing barriers and fostering curiosity, experimentation, and collaboration.
- Apply practical tools and techniques to identify opportunities, test ideas, and embed innovative thinking into everyday work.
- Balance stability and innovation by understanding the dual operating system — running the business effectively while continuously evolving it.
