Innovation plays a key role in recognising and developing both capability and opportunity but is often at-odds with the mindset attached to comprehensive strategy. It also takes innovative approaches to capture the imagination of key stakeholders who will determine the acceptance or rejection of any strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Innovation is integral to implementation of strategy within existing organisational culture, people and processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Strategy leaders and teams are required to think innovatively and to support a culture that embraces change and innovation within the organisation. Yet, organisations (for good reason) focus almost solely on quality and efficiency limiting innovative thinking, acceptance of innovation (culture) and therefore the ability to innovate. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This one-day program will provide participants with an evaluation of their own, their team\u2019s, and their organisations, willingness to innovate. This will be reviewed in the context of the organisation including need for change, global context, existing culture and cultural safety. <\/p>\n\n\n<mimas-block \n        block-name=\"accordion\"\n        role=\"complementary\"\n        aria-label=\"Accordion content\"\n        data-segment=\"all\">\n\n                \n\n                    <div class=\"accordion\" aria-labelledby=\"accordion-title-Learning-outcomes\">\n            <button type=\"button\" class=\"accordion__heading\" aria-controls=\"Learning-outcomes\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n            <div class=\"title\" id=\"accordion-title-Learning-outcomes\">Learning outcomes<\/div>\n            <div class=\"icon\"><\/div>\n        <\/button>\n        <div class=\"accordion__content\" id=\"Learning-outcomes\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n                    <ul>\n<li>An understanding of what strategic leadership means and why it\u2019s important for organisations.<\/li>\n<li>How innovating capability fits with strategic thinking and strategy processes.<\/li>\n<li>An understanding of the major elements of innovative thinking and organisational components of innovative thinking.<\/li>\n<li>Understanding of the role of innovation in the strategy process and for strategic success.<\/li>\n<li>A range of tools and approaches that participants can apply immediately and directly to encourage innovation as part of the strategy process.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n        \n                            \n                    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n                    <div class=\"accordion\" aria-labelledby=\"accordion-title-Who-is-this-program-for?\">\n            <button type=\"button\" class=\"accordion__heading\" aria-controls=\"Who-is-this-program-for?\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n            <div class=\"title\" id=\"accordion-title-Who-is-this-program-for?\">Who is this program for?<\/div>\n            <div class=\"icon\"><\/div>\n        <\/button>\n        <div class=\"accordion__content\" id=\"Who-is-this-program-for?\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n                    <p>This program is for people who want to lead strategic change and therefore innovation in any context (hopefully that is everyone at some stage of their career).<\/p>\n\n        \n                            \n                    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n                    <div class=\"accordion\" aria-labelledby=\"accordion-title-Program-schedule\">\n            <button type=\"button\" class=\"accordion__heading\" aria-controls=\"Program-schedule\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n            <div class=\"title\" id=\"accordion-title-Program-schedule\">Program schedule<\/div>\n            <div class=\"icon\"><\/div>\n        <\/button>\n        <div class=\"accordion__content\" id=\"Program-schedule\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n                    <table width=\"597\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"185\"><strong>Time<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"218\"><strong>Title <\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"194\"><strong>Facilitator <\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"185\">9:00am \u2013 10:30am<\/td>\n<td width=\"218\">Strategy &amp;
