Innovation for a Competitive Edge - Business Breakfast (Jhb)
Thu Nov 22, 06:00 - Thu Nov 22, 09:30
Oaklands Inn, Randburg
ABOUT
Companies and organisations that are not innovative will not be agile enough to survive the changes in society brought about by the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
Innovation is not a creative accident that other organisations stumble over but rather an intentional, learnable skill that is required by all sectors of an organisation.
A small business needs to innovate to be noticed and to stand out from a jungle of competitors and a large, successful organisation needs to innovate in order to keep growing over and above last year’s results.
Innovation is not a skill to be delegated to a few savvy stars in the company, but should be nurtured in all levels of the organisational hierarchy as well as accessed from external sources.
You will learn how to
- Define the competitive edge innovation gives to your organization
- Intentionally develop innovation practices
- Identify the origins of innovation
- Bring unexpected innovation into your organisation
- Reward frustrated users for being innovation inspirations
- The difference between incremental and radical innovation
- The different parts of your organization that can benefit from innovation
- How simple this can be. I promise.
