 HR - driving business success through innovation 

Date: 15/10/2010      Time: 9am - 4.30pm 

 

In these tough economic times, differentiating your product or service is more important than ever.  Those organisations that are winning with consumers are constantly innovating their offering and making their voice heard in a crowded market place.  But it is not enough to deliver some innovation training to the Marketing Team and hope that new product development or eye-catching campaigns will be the solution.

Innovation must be an integral part of your culture and the responsibility of everyone in the organisation.  And HR is uniquely positioned to drive this.

This one-day programme lifts the lid on how to create an Innovation Culture - where HR is firmly placed at the centre enabling Innovation thinking in every part of the organisation.

The day is built around case studies from, and break outs with, HR and Innovation practitioners, who will share with you how their teams deliver innovative thinking on HR practices and organisational development.  Alongside this you will learn how to use your environment to create innovation energy, how to harness the power of social media and how to design your organisation to ensure that innovation lives and breathes at every level.
