Why Creativity and Innovation Training?

Today, with the rising concern about the economy and the impact of the forces of globalization, competition, technology, workforce diversity, and changes in value-systems, the search for new strategies that help corporate America cope has intensified.

The popularity of such recent books as The Rise of the Creative Class, and other books on creativity, is but one indication of the growing recognition of the importance of creativity and innovation for business and society.

Our Creativity Training Gives You Access to the Source of Innovation

Where do creative ideas come from? How can you boost your ability to generate new solutions for entrenched problems? What techniques can you use to significantly increase your ability to look at the same thing others look at and see something different? In one of the workshop's modules, participants are introduced to more than thirty sources of new ideas.

The Creativity and Innovation at Work workshop takes participants on a mind-opening journey filled with the excitement of new possibilities. Participants harness their ability to see problems in an entirely new light and generate an abundance of solutions.

Participants Learn to Become Progress-Makers at Their Workplace

Organizations need people who make waves, who don’t do “business as usual” or accept “the status quo.”

These are the people who will create new products and services, come up with breakthrough improvements, and achieve extraordinary accomplishments.
These are the people who will challenge things as they are.
These are the people upon whom the progress of your organization depends.
And these are the persons whose creativity we unleash with our training.

Warning: Your workplace might not be the same after this training!

People look at things as they are, and ask why? I dream of things that never have been and ask why not?

- George Bernard Shaw

Asking “Why not?” is one of many idea-generation techniques participants learn in the Creativity at Work training.

When to Use the Employee Engagement for Change Program

You can use this versatile program in two major ways:

On Its Own as a Culture Change Initiative:

You can use the “Employee Engagement for Change” Program to start a culture change process for your team, your department, or the entire organization to create employee engagement, raise morale, and generate commitment to teamwork and collaboration.

As Support to Your Planned or Ongoing Change Initiative:

You can use the “Employee Engagement for Change” Program as support to your organization change process, relying on it to generate excitement and energy for any change effort. Whether you are introducing new technology, reengineering your processes, going through budget challenges, merger or acquisition, or any other change effort, you can use “Employee Engagement for Change” Program to take care of the human side of change and generate employee engagement and commitment to it.

The Powerful Principles that Work Together to Achieve Dramatic Success for Your Change Initiative

The “Employee Engagement for Change” Program is based on a number of powerful principles:

1- People Are Not Assets or Resources

o   In its essence, Employee Engagement is a “People-First” way of working and managing. It must not be viewed as a process to achieve some financial gains or goals for the organization. Turning the process away from a focus on people-first will ensure failure.

o   People are not “assets” or “resources” the organization owns or manages. People are the organization. The Organization is nothing but people. People manage the organization. The organization does not manage people.

o   This qualitative shift in the way we view the organization and the people who manage it is necessary for the success of any employee engagement initiative.

Change is about people, not process, technology, or numbers. Financial results do not engage people. Engaged people achieve financial results, and every other worthwhile value for the organization.

2- We must become the change we want to see in the world

This is what Gandhi, the great leader of India’s independence, said.
Our “Employee Engagement for Change” Program puts this powerful concept to work by asking people to become the change they are talking about. People are asked to take a pledge to refrain from three negative behaviors (complaining, criticizing, and gossiping) in the first three weeks of the program.
After experiencing the power of change first-hand in themselves, people then move to make the changes needed in their workplace.

3- Change is positive 3- Change Is Positive and Carries Its Own Rewards

·        Employees do not resist change. They resist the way some in management try to change them. Employees embrace the change that they participate in making.

The “Employee Engagement for Change” Program is designed to make organizational change a positive and exciting process. It integrates fun and camaraderie in every aspect and every step of the process. People don’t have to be dragged to participate. They ask for it and invite others to join in.

There is nothing as powerful and meaningful for people as the feeling that they are the ones in control of their own change and of the changes they create for the organization.

4- Change is Social 5- Change is Social and Team-Based

Our “Employee Engagement for Change” methodology leverages the powerful human need for belonging, socializing, and community.

The program enables participants to think, behave, and create change together.

This approach accelerates the change process as it makes it more in harmony with people’s need for social interaction.

The process of effecting change together creates the strongest bonding between team members and dramatically heightens morale and employee engagement

You will also learn and receive our Heart & Mind Learning

Heart & Mind Learning is a HumaNext methodology that ensures that a workshop enjoys a number of built-in special design and delivery features that have proven to turn ordinary training sessions into extraordinary learning and changing experience. We have put the best lessons of our diversified training experience in the design of a unique approach to training that we call Heart & Mind Learnin, or H&ML.

From Instruction to Discovery

The task of designing training workshops is called “Instructional Design” which is based on the idea that the trainer will provide “instructions” to participants as the way for them to learn.

Our “Heart & Mind Learning” approach calls for changing this mind-set so that when you design a learning workshop you focus on providing opportunities, activities, and ideas that enable participants to “discover” the learning points for themselves. Instead of engaging in “Instructional Design” you will engage in “Discovery Design.” Not only this is better, more impactful, and more interesting for participants, it is also all that for the facilitator as well.

With all Tracks, you will also receive Heart & Mind Learning Facilitator’s Guide and PowerPoint slides, as well as access to webinars to hear directly from the author of Heart & Mind Learning on how to integrate it into all your training workshops.
