Building an Innovation Engine

(2-4 hour workshop)

Your leadership team is your most effective tool for promoting innovation…or for killing it. The climate your leaders set is the single most important factor in determining whether you have engaged employees and effective sustained innovation. This expanded keynote/workshop will give anyone with supervisory responsibilities the tools and insights needed to meet that crucial challenge.

Your leaders will:
1) Gain a clearer understanding of the critical role they play in advancing successful innovation and fostering employee engagement.

2) Learn to recognize fundamental patterns of behavior inside an organization and how those patterns promote or undermine employee engagement and innovation.

3) Discover fresh insights into their own patterns of thought and behavior and what those patterns imply about effective innovative leadership.

4) Discover new ways to approach business challenges and generate innovative solutions.

5) Leave with a stronger sense of purpose and commitment to business objectives.

Clockwise™Leadership Retreats

(1-2 days)

Would your management team benefit from an intensive immersion experience to enhance their leadership skills? We offer one and two day retreats to renew everyone’s commitment to innovation, while gaining powerful insights into how that can best be achieved. This longer format makes it possible to achieve the same outcomes as the “Building an Innovation Engine” workshops, while broadening and deepening the ability to implement what they’ve learned, and creating a more cohesive high performing team.

Your team will also:
1) Leave with a specific set of tools and strategies they can use to leverage positive change.

2) Have a more organic understanding of how a variety of leadership concepts combine to promote innovation and engagement.

3) Become a stronger team and develop a collective commitment to mutual outcomes.

Clockwise™ Leadership Cohorts

When your objective is to achieve a shift in the overall culture of your organization or business unit, the approach needs to be equally ambitious. A single event, no matter how well designed and implemented is rarely sufficient. Even one lasting several days may not have a sustained impact without some follow-up. To address this need, we offer a series of half-day leadership cohorts (2-4 hours) at intervals of two to three weeks. This provides an opportunity for participants to actively apply what they’ve learned, as part of a sustained intervention.

Participants will:
1) Develop personal behaviors and habits that benefit the larger organization.

2) Discover for themselves that what they’re learning really works and produces substantial benefits.

3) Impact the organization in powerful and positive ways even as the cohorts are underway.
