BUILD A CULTURE OF CREATIVITY AND INNOVATION
Even for industry leaders, new practices and skills are critical to maintaining an edge, as competitors are always striving to catch up and surpass them. What was groundbreaking yesterday can become table stakes today, especially with advances in AI rapidly changing the playing field.
Organizations that thrive in the future will have cultures of innovation, with the tools, habits, and mindsets to keep their creative fire burning. In many cases we have been trained out of our natural creative mindsets, and generally our ways of working together reinforce this limitation. Our dormant creativity is there, but we need to hack our default ways of interacting and of approaching challenges to bring it forward.
Creating lasting change within an organization towards these goals requires a series of intensive touchpoints to re-define expectations for creative practices and output, and to equip leadership and management with the tools to not just maintain but expand organizational capacity in this area.
These touchpoints allow individuals and teams to build new habits, identify untapped opportunities, uncover valuable insights, and design and test innovative solutions that leverage those insights. Participants will experience and understand the conditions necessary for high performance teams to hack default ways of approaching problems and each other, and to collectively leverage other ways of knowing. As a result, they will move the dial on important institutional challenges further, faster.
quaNtitative product market fit (QPMF)
A Quantitative Product Market Fit process aims to define, with a meaningful degree of rigor, what is meant by “better” in relation to products and services, and at times internal policies and processes as well. How can you tell if a change will actually result in a better outcome, and equally important, how much better? Will it be worth the effort?
Building a Culture of Creativity and Innovation, without a concept of the specific benefits that creative innovation will bring, is potentially leaving leverage on the table. Even in organizations with a strong existing culture of creativity and innovation individuals and teams can waste energy and resources on lower-yield ideas.
Some ideas initially deemed low-yield do at times turn out to be valuable in the longer run, of course, and therefore too much pre-judging about what’s more or less useful is not consistent with a culture of creativity and innovation. However, having an aligned target to prioritize rapid evaluation of options and a process to do so will ensure the highest return on limited resources.
Through this process teams will analyze more deeply the kinds of innovation that are most profitable or otherwise valuable to the organization, and the ways those innovations are generated, so that they can more efficiently discover and take advantage of future opportunities on their own.
team transformation
Eliad Group offers tailored leader and/or high-performing team development, from individual or team effectiveness assessments, to coaching engagements and team workshops, all the way through to multi-month integrated development journeys. While these services provide direct benefits to those individuals and teams, they also serve as a reinforcement and sustainability mechanism aligned with your organization’s near term strategic, tactical, and cultural goals.
While an individual coaching engagement is highly tailored, as are our team development workshops, some approaches have been so consistently impactful they tend to be a part of most of our services in this domain. At a very high level, we will calibrate initial leader perceptions with stakeholder interviews, identify what’s working well and what are the most important areas that need to shift in the near term, define and implement mindset and behavior change experiments in the contexts that matter most, and then debrief and iterate.
Progress is tracked and success evaluated by you and your stakeholders alike. Throughout the engagement, we serve as a confidential, independent sounding board and accountability partner — helping translate insight into action, backed by decades of experience coaching hundreds of leaders and leadership teams across industries, sizes, and stages worldwide.
ALIGNMENT AUDIT
The foundation of any healthy organization sits on alignment of vision, mission, values, and practices. Does everyone agree on where you are heading? On the best road to get there? On the best vehicle to take on that road?
An Alignment Audit is focused on answering these questions visually and viscerally. Team members are guided through a co-creative experience built on the principles of meaning-centered design. Powerful tools are used to hack default perspectives and tendencies and shed powerful light on individual and collective understandings.
Organizations having engaged in the Alignment Audit leave armed with X-ray clarity on the integrity of their core foundation. Strong alignment positions an organization to move into high integrity strategic planning and execution with increased clarity and buy-in. If weak alignment is revealed, it will be clear where and why. Focused interventions can then follow to forge authentic alignment. In both cases, new co-creative habits and tools will leave increased organizational capacity for continual calibration of goals, strategy, and practice.
