Leading Innovation in the Public Service
Innovation is the discipline of discovering and fulfilling needs in new ways that create value, under conditions of high uncertainty.
Dates: 23 – 26 August 2022
Time: 9:00am – 1:00pm SGT
Programme Fee: $1,600 SGD (before GST)
Registration closes 2 August 2022
Driving a culture of innovation requires multiple touch points and ongoing reinforcements with the change agents. One of the biggest challenges public agencies face is not the ability to create ideas and work with them, but changing the leadership behaviours that hinder innovation.
How can you foster a culture in which innovation can flourish? You’ll require exploration skills, execution skills and unique innovation leadership behaviours. In this programme, we will tackle the following questions:
What does it take to innovate?
How do I lead it?
What moves can I make back at work tomorrow?
Note: The programme consists of virtual classroom sessions conducted over four half-days on Zoom.
How you will benefit
- MANAGE uncertainty and approach innovation projects as experiments, where you test ideas, assess results and learn from failure
- LEARN how to develop a culture of innovation by cascading these skills across your agency, and lead with the right innovation behaviours
