| Description: | Today’s business world is the toughest it has been in years. Budgets are being cut, growth is low, demands are high and scrutiny is ever tighter. Organisations everywhere are seeking efficiencies, savings, improved performance and better processes. This is no longer achievable by just working harder or longer, everyone needs to work differently.
It has been shown that innovative organisations outperform their peers and that this can help in the formulation of new organisational strategies and modernisation programs. These can in turn lead to a culture that supports continuation of strategy, ongoing competitive advantage and sustainable business development.
The purpose of this half day briefing is to help delegates explore and understand the latest ideas in innovation and how the current climate has changed the nature of the topic. Practically oriented, it will help delegates develop the ability to identify, deploy and measure the core actions associated with innovation management.
