How can OD practitioners support leaders in stimulating innovation? What innovation processes work well?
Kaiser Permanente has been honing innovation processes as it evolves to better serve its members and meet the challenges of health care reform. Panelists with significant experience on innovation projects share their diverse perspectives, coming from traditional OD, operations management and design-oriented innovation consulting perspectives. A series of brief presentations, Q&A sessions where you can participate, and a case exercise will illuminate the following key areas of focus:
When should you start an innovation project rather than a change management or continuous improvement process? What kinds of results can innovation provide?
Panelists will talk about the process of innovation. How does the innovation cycle work? How do innovation consultants and organizational leaders make magic happen at innovation design sessions? What success factors should be in place to make an innovation project successful? Panelists will discuss how to build infrastructure, design roles, responsibilities, support, and accountabilities.
Leaders play a special role in innovation; and innovation can change how managers lead. How can leaders create an environment that’s conducive to innovation? How can leaders support innovation? How can leaders use innovation as a tool for reframing problems and seeing new opportunities? OD professionals and coaches will find this discussion very useful.
Finally, OD professionals can increase your awareness of how OD and training competencies can uniquely contribute to the success of innovation projects. So much of innovation involves behavior change. While design firms have methodologies, OD and training professionals contribute behavior change methods. Yet, OD professionals rarely have innovation as one of the services they provide. Perhaps that should change.
