Innovation Unpacked

Workshop

Introduce innovation practise into your workforce

REGISTER INTEREST

Everyone is talking about Innovation, yet do we really know what it is and how it can help us to do better projects, understand our users, reduce time wasting and reduce the risk of massive high profile failures from traditional project methodology?

This introduction to innovation can help your organisation to work better, smarter, faster and more creatively.

This one day workshop will give participants a proper grounding in innovation practice. At the end of the day they will feel comfortable understanding what innovation really is, what it isn't, and which part of the toolbox you need to reach for in any given situation.

 

Sell it to your Boss

This workshop is different.  It is a completely immersive experience where you get to try out innovation tools on an actual real life work based problem.

We help you:

  • identify the root cause of your problem
  • give you tools to come up with lots of ideas to solve your problem
  • help you practice prototyping your solution

Not only does this help you innovate on your particular problem, it gives you real-life experience of innovation practice so that you are well equipped to use it back in the office.

Here is a blog explaining what a recent attendee got out of Innovation Unpacked. Everyone who came to that session said that they'd "definitely" recommend it to a colleague.

Who should attend

It is aimed at people from all levels in your organisation who would like to find out more about innovation and how it can work for them.  You may have been given an innovation brief yet have had little in the way of formal training or are interested in finding out ways to innovate in your existing role.
