The Secret of Successful Innovation
Presented by Michelle Moore, Senior Director of Leadership and Business Solutions, Global Knowledge
  
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 hour-long webinar Michelle Moore will discuss the organizational capabilities, culture, processes and personal competencies required to successfully innovate.

She will cover 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.

Aligning IT and Business for Better Results
Presented by Michelle More, Senior Director of Leadership and Business Solutions, Global Knowledge
 
Businesses today are more dependent on technology than ever. And, more than ever, they're looking to IT for ways to improve employee productivity, customer service and innovation. The challenge is that in order to achieve results with technology, IT and the business have to work collaboratively.

 

IT needs to be able to develop the right relationships and communicate with different stakeholders from a business perspective - not a technical one. As a result, the transformation of the IT department has become a top-level priority for many leading organizations. At the same time, business leaders need to strengthen their business technology IQ and play a more significant role in the governance of IT.
 
In this complimentary hour-long webinar, learning and development professional Michelle Moore will fill you in on the skills and knowledge required to help IT and the business collaborate and perform in this new environment. She will also share industry best practices for making the transition.
