Innovation narratives and leadership are at the heart of project organizing. The ‘narrative turn’ in innovation studies focuses attention on how the meaning of innovation is socially constructed through the use of narratives and stories (Bartel and Garud, 2009; Vaara et al., 2016).

This presentation focuses on innovation narratives as important cultural mechanisms through which innovation can be sustained and promoted in organizations; these are important means for overcoming resistance to innovation and change in projects and organizations.

Innovation narratives enable organizations to achieve a shared understanding among employees and to convince a client when bidding for innovative projects, and they can be promoted more widely (Ninan and Sergeeva, 2021; Sergeeva and Winch, 2021).

Hence, leaders do need convincing narratives of innovation.

Managers construct narratives of innovation and ascribe themselves with informal roles such as leaders and champions of innovation (Sergeeva, 2016; Sergeeva and Green, 2019; Sergeeva and Liu, 2019).

They are expected to create and communicate innovation narratives for both internal employees and stakeholders.

The presentation discusses the crucial role of innovation leaders in stimulating and promoting innovations in projects and organizations. The processes of narrating and leading are connected and are important processes in project organizing.

These processes are increasingly recognized as essential for successful delivery of projects/megaprojects that impact policy-making, strategizing, the economy and society as a whole.

In this webinar, Natalya Sergeeva (LinkedIn profile) will describe Innovation narratives and leadership, and processes of leading and narrating.  Key definitions and examples will be discussed.

The presentation is based on longitudinal research studies in innovation and project management research.

The key outcomes of this webinar are:

  • Exploring what innovation narratives are and how these are created, communicated and promoted in project organizing
  • Learning about the impact of innovation narrative interactions at different levels
  • Learning about the nature and role of innovation leaders and their innovation narratives
  • Examining processes of narrating and leading in innovation process
  • Exploring visioning future innovation narratives

Meetings are an integral part of modern workplaces that hold great importance for businesses.

Attendees dedicate a considerable amount of time to them. However, research indicates that many meetings are unproductive, leaving employees feeling that they are a waste of their time.

This can lead to frustration, disengagement, and burnout.

Therefore, we need to shift our focus from meeting content to their objectives. Meetings can be valuable opportunities for businesses to collaborate, share ideas, and make decisions, but only with careful planning, preparation, and execution.

By setting clear goals, creating a cohesive agenda, selecting the appropriate participants, setting ground rules, promoting engagement, utilizing technology efficiently, and following up afterward, you can ensure that your meetings are efficient, productive, and engaging.

This approach leads to better business outcomes and a more engaged team.

In this webinar, Mithun Aiyswaryan Sridharan (LinkedIn profile) will present frameworks and models that will assist the audience in organizing and conducting effective meetings.
