Leading Innovation at Work

A practical programme in leading innovation at work, connecting working concepts with team decisions and relevant workplace examples.

About the Course

This programme develops a working approach to leading innovation at work in the context of management priorities and execution. Participants move from understanding the main concepts to examining a case, testing alternatives and explaining a practical recommendation. The three modules focus on idea selection, pilot design and team participation. Examples are selected after the training brief so that they reflect the responsibilities and experience of the participant group.

Course Objectives

  • Explain the role of idea selection and identify the information required for a reliable assessment.
  • Use a structured worksheet to examine pilot design and compare reasonable alternatives.
  • Identify assumptions, missing evidence and implementation concerns related to team participation.
  • Prepare a decision brief with responsibilities and performance measures for discussion with a manager and team.
  • Translate the exercise into a workplace action plan with owners, review points and measurable progress.

Who Can Benefit

  • Managers and supervisors: apply idea selection to their responsibilities through a guided case and a course-specific worksheet.
  • Team leaders and improvement coordinators: apply pilot design to their responsibilities through a guided case and a course-specific worksheet.
  • Strategy and operations professionals: apply team participation to their responsibilities through a guided case and a course-specific worksheet.
