WORKPLACE INNOVATION:
Creating Ideas and Putting them into Action
Organizations are going through constant change in
this new age of leadership ... new technologies, global best-practices, competition threats, increased client demands, tighter
controls, greater workloads and process changes. Successful organizationsneed
to innovate in order to grow. But, having great ideas is not enough, it`s the disciplined execution that`s key. Employees
need to develop unique products,powerful systems, effective processes, and outstanding services in order
to exceed customer expectations.
Based on Gus's TCEN Model, this powerful program is about inspiringemployees to develop innovative
ideas and follow through to fruition. He demonstrates the need to (a) Think differently, (b) Challenge provocatively, (c)
Experiment constantly, and (d) Network frequently.
Having an idea is useful,but executing a
great idea is power!
For most organizations, change is uncomfortable. Leaders might have great strategies but come implementation
time, it gets more complex. It’s the EXECUTION that’s key - success will depend on the ‘personal element’.
How do we personalize change? It starts from within. ‘Change’ must become an emotional transition.
Based on Gus's book, The Road: A Journey through the 5C’s
of Change, this program empowers employees not only to do more, but also to expect more out of themselves. It's about discovering their inner
power and unlocking the desire, passion, and greatness within themselves and others.
There are three parts to this program: (1) The pre-travel check: ensuring your engine (mindset) is ready; (2) Packing
your bags: acquiring the tools necessary to successfully drive on the Road; and (3) The five C’s: driving through the
five change locations (Character, Constructiveness, Commitment, Communication, and Contribution)
