button Innovation Tip #3
from Joel Barker & Debbe Kennedy

Diversity drives INNOVATION to everyone's advantage.
Organizations and individuals all over the world are discovering that putting DIFFERENCES to work is the most powerful accelerator for generating new ideas, gaining support for innovative solutions, executing organizational strategies, and ENGAGING everyone in the process.

Three key considerations:

  • Incorporating diversity considerations into your strategies enables you to reach, understand, relate, connect and collaborate more effectively.
  • The breakthrough for innovation is recognizing the essential ingredient of diversity, in its broadest sense. The value lies at the intersection of differences.
  • Getting buy-in for new thinking, new products/services, and new ideas from an increasingly diverse workplace and marketplace requires new skills, practices and disciplines.

Want to strengthen your capabilities in presenting your new thinking or a new initiative? Check out our 2010 ONLINE professional development offering below. If you're already enrolled in our March 4 session, we'll see you there!

We wish you success as you lead the way!

button About Innovation Tips

Innovation Tips are practical how-tos from Joel Barker and Debbe Kennedy. They are shared to encourage and support leaders and innovators as they work to overcome the common realities of resistance to change -- and successfully get new ideas and new thinking accepted in their organizations and with customers. Each tip comes with a related enduring innovator insight.

In 2010, Innovation Tips will be sent twice each month to keep momentum going. They are designed to complement a more indepth study provided during Tactics of Innovation: How to Get Buy-In for NEW IDEAS, our online professional development WEBINAR at the Global Dialogue Center.
