About Course
This comprehensive unit focuses on fostering innovation and creativity within an organisation. It begins with the identification and analysis of trends that shape current and future thinking and practice. Techniques and tools are introduced to generate innovative ideas, and creative thinking techniques are promoted. Extensive research is conducted on conditions, drivers, and enablers of innovation. The unit also delves into leadership in innovative practices, emphasising the assessment and refinement of personal leadership styles that model positive innovation. Sustainable innovation requirements are determined, and methods for knowledge transfer and risk management are constructed and implemented.
Creating a culture of innovation is another crucial aspect, involving the introduction and promotion of innovative practices, communication and resource allocation for innovation processes, and the development of strategies and systems that support innovation. Sustainability of innovative thinking and practice is addressed through ongoing awareness, barrier identification, performance analysis, feedback seeking, and adaptive changes.
