Course Overview
When specialised innovation teams is unclear, people default to protecting their own function. Managers are promoted for competence and then judged on the organisational leadership discipline, which nobody trained them for. Moving this strand of organisational leadership from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. Participants gain a realistic view of what specialised innovation teams costs and what it returns. It suits anyone whose decisions touch the organisational leadership capability, in large organisations and small ones alike. The course gives participants a defensible structure for the organisational leadership discipline and the judgement to adapt it. Comparative studies of specialised innovation teams across sectors find the same handful of failure points recurring. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of this area of organisational leadership and supervised application. The final module sets out how progress on the wider organisational leadership agenda will be evidenced six months later.
