In today’s complex and competitive business environment, most companies rank innovation as one of their top strategic priorities.

In fact, in a recent study conducted by Boston Consulting Group (BCG) more than three quarters of the business leaders surveyed, placed innovation as either the top, or in the top three, strategic priorities.

The challenge is that often organizations struggle to truly innovate.

Many are restricted by a narrow definition of what innovation really is, or are limited by thinking in terms of innovation relative to what takes place in their industry and with their competitors.

In this 1 hour webinar Michelle Moore will discuss the organizational capabilities, culture, processes and personal competencies required to successfully innovate.

The webinar will include the following elements:

• What is innovation?
• Characteristics of top innovative organizations and people
• Driving organizational innovation – building blocks for success
• Increasing your team’s innovation potential

Mentoring As You Know It Is Dead

• Forget one-to-one relationships that are for the few and the elite.
• Forget mentors and protégés that fall into and are limited by defined roles and expectations, particularly around who can play what part.
• Forget programs that are highly structured, tightly controlled, and designed with a shelf-life. This is not the way mentoring occurs anymore.

Today, mentoring is about open, flexible, and dynamic learning relationships where anyone can take part, anyone can connect to share information and insights, and anyone can be a learner or advisor.

This new approach is modern mentoring,
And it is here to stay.

Drawing on the concepts from his new book, Modern Mentoring (ATD 2015), Randy Emelo will take participants on a journey into the vision and concepts behind modern mentoring, and will help them build a plan to bring this practice to life in their organization.

This webinar will answer these questions and more as Randy explores the practice of modern mentoring:

• How can we make it a part of our organizational culture?
• How can we support our entire workforce in mentoring relationships?
• How do we appeal to people of all ages?
