Leadership Development for Strategic Thinking & Innovation
Do you want to build strategic thinking, innovation, and growth strategy capabilities into your high-potential managers and executive leadership?
Most leaders want business breakthroughs, but many struggle with the elusive and “messy” process required for creating them. Why? Because strategy and innovation in today’s world isn’t formulaic. It requires an agile mindset coupled with rapid learning and iteration. It mandates leaders create a “culture of innovation” that fosters risk-taking and experimentation. That’s how you get breakthrough new strategies, products, services, processes, and business models. And often some of the most important leadership success factors involve how we approach uncertainty, manage ambiguity, and respond to the inevitable positive and negative surprises we experience during the process.
