Overview
The Innovation Steering Committee is a powerful coalition of leaders from across the organization that guide and oversee the entire journey of innovation for your organization. They are responsible for driving the change process that will move the organization towards a culture that supports and sustains innovation; constantly monitoring it to make sure that it stays on track. The Innovation Steering Committee is a permanent body; its members usually include a mix of management and staff.
Session Focus
This session will help you create your Innovation Steering Committee. You will define its purpose and mandate, develop clear roles and responsibilities, assess the current culture for innovation, identify communication initiatives, develop the strategies for innovation, create a process for innovation, measure success and foster innovation throughout your department/organization. We will help the committee to create a shared definition of innovation to help the entire organization innovate. This is because, without this, it will be very difficult for employees to understand innovation or implement it.
