Applied Innovation The Art and Science of Turning Theory Into Action
Clearly, all forward thinking organizations want to increase their employee's innovation competencies. The question, as always, is how. While pep talks, polls, and whitepapers may get the conversation going, they rarely lead to measurable results. That's where Idea Champions' Applied Innovation comes in. Hands on, pragmatic, and inspiring, it not only gets the creative juices flowing, but provides the kind of structure and substance that makes it easy for participants to apply the learnings on the job immediately. Our mission is to activate the process that enables individuals to become proactive innovators and catalysts for a culture of innovation. Organizations don't innovate. People do. And so, if your organization is committed to raising the bar for innovation it will need to find authentic ways to help its workforce understand, embrace, and realize its latent ability to be a force for positive change. You can talk about "culture of innovation" until the sacred cows come home, but talk is cheap. Action is required. And not just any action. Informed action. Intelligent action. Inspired action. That's what Applied Innovation is all about. It gets people challenging old assumptions, conceiving new possibilities, originating breakthrough ideas, working together, and jump starting the process of helping their organization foster a dynamic, authentic, humane, and sustainable culture of innovation.
“Idea Champions offers pragmatic tools and insights that enable innovation. Their approach is engaging, encouraging and creates an impetus for participants to apply the learning immediately.”
