Build a Culture of Innovation
Teach your teams to see the unseen
and then execute on it.
It’s built by asking:
What are simple ways we can create breakthrough ideas that end up changing the world?
You create this kind of culture by:
- Connecting innovation to your teams' everyday jobs.
- Adding the principles of innovation to their expertise.
- Creating a process to turn new ideas into executable solutions.
Building a Culture of Innovation is Dr. David Rickett's Specialty:
