How to Activate an Intentional Culture of Innovation

2023 Annual
Understand the tangible factors that shape workplace culture and learn strategies that systemically activate innovation in your organization.

In a world of ever-increasing complexity and ambiguity, innovation is a top priority across organizations. An innovative organizational culture is not only  key to unleashing employees' innate potential but a driving factor for business success and talent retention. How can organizations intentionally create a culture of innovation and recognize the conditions that enable or disable this? This session will explore  how HR leaders can transform culture to increase employee engagement and propel business performance.

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand the six conditions that enable and disable creativity to inform internal initiatives that can support continuous culture reinforcement.
  • Pinpoint the current state of your innovation culture through a diagnostic tool.
  • Determine how C-suite, HR, and operations can successfully work together to activate solutions that create an environment in support of a synergized culture.
