Characteristics of innovation: There are plenty of resources on what the key characteristics are of innovators, but how do you actually develop them? We'll go through some characteristics, the best tools we know for each one, and the best resources we've found to develop them for yourself.
Dealing with obstructive personalities: With any innovation initiative in the public sector, you're going to encounter resistance on many fronts. In this interactive workshop we'll create personas (imagined character or role) of the most difficult people to influence and talk about the best strategies to address them.
Reducing risk through innovation: The risk conversation dominates the public sector. What does this mean for innovation, which is inherently risky? How do we address the risk of not innovating? And finally, how might we structure innovation to actually reduce risk for the whole organisation?
Talking about failure: We can't admit failure in the public sector, yet we all know it is inherent to learning and innovation. This workshop will provide participants with a way to discuss what failure in innovation really looks like and how to make genuine space for learning and innovation.
