These events have concluded. The replay + takeaway from our Dec. 5 session are now available for immediate access.
Harvard Business School Professor Dr. Linda Hill and colleagues released groundbreaking research on how successful companies are able to innovate again and again with the publication of their 2014 book Collective Genius, which was recognized with a rare Thinkers50 innovation award.
Now, those discoveries are driving an exciting, interactive simulation developed by learning design expert and Advantage Senior Leader Richard Hodge along with our thought leader partners at Paradox Strategies, a company Dr. Hill co-founded that specializes in leadership and innovation. The simulation is part of a learning journey that includes practical implementation tools that can help make innovation a reality in any organization. We'll share one of the tools with you as a takeaway.
The multifaceted journey includes a combination of self-reflection on research-based leadership behaviors, group-based self-discovery learning, team-based competitive decision-making, and a set of step-by-step, practical and interactive tools. Its action steps yield near-term results for any leader in an organization looking to be more innovative. It’s not just for “innovation gurus.”
In this flyover, we'll also explore how Multiplier leaders become even more effective when they embrace and take action on the findings from Dr. Linda Hill's work, which are highlighted in the Collective Genius simulation.
