One of the most significant challenges we face is partnering with internal stakeholders. We created a workshop to confront this challenge head-on. Initiated in Spring of 2019, this workshop is now available online, please contact us for upcoming dates.
Corporate innovation is a tricky business -- it's our job to take risks while working with colleagues whose job is to avoid risks. How do we communicate what we're doing so engage more allies in the organization and move our work forward?
Bring your own communications framework as well as your juiciest internal communications challenge, and see how other companies approach these questions!
--Go deep: Pair up with another innovator to learn, ask questions, challenge and get inspired by each others' current approaches.
--Go broad: Treat the event as an artists' catalog -- page through frameworks to add ideas and learn from the wide range of approaches.
--Learn about stories: How they channel empathy to influence decision-maker emotions and decisions, and how we can construct robust stories ourselves. Pro tip: Try story spine!
--Checked your work against the literature, using an innovation strategy dashboard developed by Dr. Arthur Boni, emeritus Distinguished Professor of Entrepreneurship at Carnegie Mellon University, and CAF leader Diana Joseph.
--Pick an ambitious task to take on, and gather again in a few weeks to follow up!
