SVII a Non Profit Educational Institution
The basic attributes of an innovation culture:
- Encourages communication and initiative.
- Conscious culture is not an accident.
- Sustains teams and individual contributors.
- Balances the internal and the external.
- Collaborates and is risk prudent.
- Manages change by being flexible and adaptive.
- Focused yet opportunistic.
- Conscious of global value networks
Each of these characteristics has a push pull type of structure. It is in the reconciliation of these at times oppositional states that we find innovation thriving.
Workshops and Seminars
SVII workshops and seminars are designed to address the needs of working executives at the senior and mid levels of management. These two groups have the greatest power to impact culture, which is the primary sustaining support mechanism for innovation.
One must have the ability to create a culture to be effective at supporting innovation.
Small groups with a high degree of interactivity
Individuals with the personal and professional power to affect change, require capabilities building rather than the training or education normally associated with students and entry level personnel. Innovation advocates do not respond well to batch processing as it usually precludes permitting them enough input to the learning process for them to be engaged.
Here at SVII we understand executives require both a high degree of interactivity and a strong experiential component in order for their capabilities to evolve.
Participants leave with a heightened sense of best practices to immediately apply, as well as an increased awareness of possible innovation roadblocks and how to dismantle them in their organization.
