Course Overview
Data on innovation and idea generation is abundant; insight about it is not. Most disputes about idea generation begin as a conversation that was handled badly. The course covers the people management and development capability at the level of detail needed to act, and stops there. Participants test their assumptions about innovation and idea generation against scenarios designed to break weak ones. Most organisations already have a policy on the wider people management and development agenda; far fewer can show it working. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about idea generation under scrutiny. Practitioner evidence points the same way: innovation and idea generation improves fastest where responsibility for it is named and owned. The level assumes working familiarity with the workforce but no prior formal training in idea generation. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to the practice within people management and development that would make a visible difference.
