Innovation training - here's what works

Innovation can be trained, developed, and applied with great results, and leaders who want to build a more innovative culture must invest in the development of new skills in team members. To maximize your innovation training budget, run a pilot program, have a small group and test the content, use real problems that engage people's heads and hearts, use real examples and case studies, start with brainstorming, spread the training over six or more weeks, try an offsite location to eliminate distractions, and end the program with a summary and lessons learned.
