"How to Build a Culture of Innovation? Through Leadership."
Why: Is innovation important to your company’s future? 94% of CEO’s surveyed said yes. So . . . how can leaders of the future become more innovative and learn to lead innovative teams? Innovating is a skill that can be taught - like giving feedback, or data analysis. Some of the most innovative companies in the world rely upon a process and mindset called “Design Thinking” (Apple, Google, Amazon, Cisco, etc.). Now, one of the world’s leading practitioners of Design Thinking - John K. Coyle - has created a cutting edge new course to share these skillsets, mindsets, and tools.
Who: John K. Coyle has over 30 years experience of leveraging Design Thinking to identify game-changing ideas and achieve breakthrough performance. John is also master storyteller and inspiring trainer. John shares stories, tips and techniques to solve old problems in new ways and intersperses proven frameworks with fascinating case studies from his storied past - including how he used Design Thinking to “hack” his sport of speedskating and win an Olympic silver medal, and how he helped a fortune 500 wireless telecom to leverage these techniques to invent a new value proposition that fundamentally changed a 1.2 trillion dollar industry. John’s roots in Design Thinking and innovation are very deep starting with his degree in product design from Stanford University, where the father of Design Thinking, David Kelley, was his academic advisor.
How: John's interactive online training course, The Innovation Leadership Development Series, provides a scalable, cost-effective, and efficient alternative to expensive and time-consuming executive education programs. The course is delivered in micro-learning segments and contains 7 subject matter modules, 35 videos, downloadable tools and tips, learning check-ins, and an optional coaching program to help participants leverage the material to progress in their careers. In this program, John brings you the same powerful tools and mindsets he shares via lectures and workshops at Kellogg, Marquette and other universities as well a companies like Coca-Cola, PwC, Allstate, American Airlines and Cisco who have repeatedly hired him to deliver leadership development training workshops. John’s most impactful material is now available to YOU on this virtual platform.
