Six Thinking Hats - is a fast paced, intense and interactive course. The measureable results include shorter meetings, thorough decisions, better communication and easier problem resolution. By mentally wearing and switching symbolic "hats", individuals or teams separate thinking into six categories for analyzing matters objectively and comprehensively. It's amazing to see the results that can be accomplished by a person or a team who knows how to separate emotion from facts, the positive from the negative and critical thinking from creative thinking.

Webcast: *Special Event* "Getting the Workforce Engaged in Innovation"
Innovation and Engagement Webinar Featuring:
Bruce Fern and Natalie Jenkins
Date:Aug 12th − 12th 2008
Time:12:00 PM − 1:00 PM
Location:Central Time - Please adjust for your Time Zone
Getting the Workforce Engaged in Innovation
Join Bruce Fern, President and Chief Engagement Solutions Architect at Performance Connections International and Natalie Jenkins, Innovation Leader and Vice President at Innova as they broaden your perspective about how to get your workforce engaged in innovation.
When managers, employees and individual contributors are in the groove of innovation and can easily shift into creative thinking, the impact on business competitiveness is striking. Often, though, innovation does not come easily. For example, many businesses experience:
· The fear of risk taking and discomfort with uncertainty
· A culture in which new ideas are shot down
· Managers and employees thinking it’s someone else’s job to innovate
Resistance to innovation can come from employees in a specific job or from a department. At other times, opposition to innovation and change can come from the entire organization. If the people who need to innovate have qualms and hesitancies about innovating, then regardless of the business need for new thinking, it just won’t happen.
Why do so many companies who encourage and support innovation and even implement innovation processes fail to produce great results?
You can give the workforce innovation tools and develop a corporate innovation strategy, but that’s not enough. You must also ask how can we get our people engaged in innovation?
The current research is definitive - a workforce that is engaged in innovation produces higher employee discretionary effort towards developing innovative solutions to tough business problems and opportunities. And this discretionary effort drops right to the bottom-line resulting in higher gross margins and operating profits.
You'll find this 60 minute interactive Webinar time well-spent, learning:
What's on the minds of CEO's regarding employee engagement and innovation
The key drivers of engagement
What Innova’s international research has revealed are the primary obstacles to innovation
Steps for decreasing the time it takes to build a culture of innovation
Five ways to get employees engaged in innovation
Hurry~spaces are limited! Register now and join us for this one hour online session.
