Fostering an Innovation Culture - PDB1132

Innovation isn’t just a buzzword — it’s the lifeline of modern businesses. In a world of constant change, leaders must move beyond traditional thinking to create breakthrough solutions.

But how do you truly foster a culture of innovation that goes beyond surface-level strategies?

Who should attend

Managers and leaders who are responsible for tackling strategic challenges and driving growth, and those who want to explore the mindsets, frameworks and practical steps you can take to enable innovation behaviours to flourish in your team or organisation.

What you will learn

Through this short course you’ll develop the critical skills to:

  • understand what innovation means in modern business,
  • learn about the factors that contribute to an innovation culture,
  • assess opportunities in your own business, and what gets in the way.

These skills will accelerate your ability to:

  • explore the frameworks that contribute to effective innovation,
  • learn how to uncover innovation opportunities for your customers and your business
  • reflect on the role you can play as a leader in fostering innovative behaviours.

This program brings together a fascinating mix of theory, reflection and practical application. You'll be challenged to think deeply and differently about innovation in your workplace – and learn to apply this mindset to your real workplace situations.

Program structure

Over two days, you’ll engage in a mix of content delivery, guided discussions, hands-on activities, peer learning and mentoring, and reflection. A personal project gives you a chance to put your new skills and knowledge to the test.
