Innovation Communication & Problem Solving (CPS) for Achievers Support Resource

Innovation – Introduction

There is considerable interest in the subject of innovation. It is the one factor that will help organizations, both public and private, keep ahead of the game. Innovation can be small improvements to existing ways of doing things, or a major new development. It is needed in hospitals, offices, factories and also in the home. Professional specialists are judged in the service they offer on the level of innovation. It is a factor that can distinguish their service from others. The problem for most organizations is that innovation is not easy. There is no simple formula to make a person or a team innovative. However, we can learn from those who have been successful. The approach in this support resource, used in conjunction with what you have learned from studying the Margerison Communication and Problem Solving resource, is intended to be innovative.

Innovation is the source of future wealth. It requires the ability to combine research on new ideas and proposals with the leadership to take action. Our suite of resources provides the framework where this can be done, covering both the individual and team approaches to problem solving and influencing others via teamwork and representation skills. Indeed, the CPS resource is ideal for those that wish to use it in their own approach to innovation.
