People Powered Innovation
“Your work with us opened my eyes to the possibilities of engaging people from their strengths and building the future on those, rather than trying to prioritize and fix our problems.”Sandra Dunsmore, Executive Director, Pearson Peacekeeping Center
People Powered Innovation is a fresh approach to change and reinvention—not just for generating great ideas but for bringing them to life. In today’s world, we need organizations to deliver value for all our stakeholders—our customers, employees, communities, shareholders and the planet.
The Foundations and Practice of People Powered Innovation
Help your team deliver value to ALL stakeholders, meeting complex challenges by reinventing your organization in ways that hold onto what makes you great, drives innovation, and leverages the strengths of those involved.
People Powered Innovation (PPI) recognizes four realities:
- Success in this changing world often requires innovating your business model and modifying how the organization functions to execute that model.
- Everyone can be an innovator.
- Participation in the process creates the mindsets, relationships and commitment needed for breakthrough positive change.
- When we begin identifying the essence of who we are—our core values, competencies and strengths—we’re better able to retain what’s valuable so we can manage continuity as well as change.
