Innovation and Risk
Innovation is the key to staying competitive and achieving long-term success in today’s fast-paced business environment. My focus is in two key areas. The first is empowering leaders to foster a culture of innovation within their organization. Even with a long résumé of successes and qualifications, enviable technical expertise, and a strong track record - every leader has something they can't seem to master.
The second focal area is discovering and eliminating organizational barriers to innovation. Numerous structures, systems, processes, and mindsets can stifle innovation - from reward and compensation systems, to responses to risk and failure, to lack of key resources, to ineffective leadership and management practices. We can help you understand and implement the kind of mindsets, motivation, and management practices that allow creativity and innovation to flourish.
