Innovation Learning Workshops

  • Would you like to give your team the tools they need to innovate successfully?
  • Do you have analytical thinkers on your team who need to think more creatively?
  • Would you like to introduce your team to ideation techniques they can use every day?

 

The Growth Engine Advantage:

  • Growth Engine uses an “action learning” method based on the belief that participants learn best by doing, and this makes the learning fun, dynamic, and relevant.
  • Our proprietary innovation processes have been fine-tuned over time in response to real world business challenges…and therefore they generate better, more practical solutions.
  • We encourage our workshop participants to bring their challenges to the session, so they get instant answers to some of their most pressing problems.
  • The techniques we teach help participants generate breakthrough ideas on a wide variety of issues (i.e. new product development, strategic planning, marketing, operations, branding or strategic alliances). As a result, our workshops work particularly well with cross-functional teams
