Program Summary
"Innovation is the only sustainable competitive advantage" says Philip Kotler, marketing guru. This challenging webinar will demonstrate how organisations- both commercial and not-for-profit- are ensuring they gain and sustain that competitive fundraising advantage. And how your organisation can also gain it.
The session is based on Bernard Ross's forthcoming book The Innovation Impulse and consultancy work with organisations as diverse as UNICEF, Greenpeace and Cirque du Soliel. It outlines a model for innovation you'll be able to benchmark yourself against. The model with tell you whether you're: an idea poor organisation, an incubation poor organisation or a implementation poor organisation. You'll also learn the roles you need to play to help your colleagues become innovative themselves- coach, gardener, catalyst, pirate, mash-up artist, adventure capitalist, or anthropologist.
Target Audience
The target audience is development professionals at an entry to mid level who are keen to discover how to create innovation across their team or organization and in themselves.
