Learning to Innovate: Creativity & Innovation SIG 

THE ASTDps 2012
INNOVATION INITIATIVE Session #3:

Helpfulness: Innovation’s  "Secret Fuel

ASTDps is launching a new series through its Creativity and Innovation SIG (Special Interest Group) to help raise awareness and provide initial training related to increasing organizational innovation.  Our intent is nothing less than to lay the crucial foundations of learning and knowledge that will help the Puget Sound region stand out as the innovation leader in the world.  Be part of this exciting undertaking!

National ASTD has called upon learning practitioners to play a leading role in helping the organizations we serve become more innovative -- because, as CEOs, government officials, and thought leaders all increasingly recognize, new technologies, new industries, new wealth, new jobs, and many other good economic things flow from innovation.

For innovation to become a pervasive reality of an organization's culture, many factors must be present and operating. Yet of these many factors, one of the most important and powerful that is frequently overlooked is ... helpfulness.
 
In this dynamic session you will:

  • Why helpfulness is the "secret fuel" of organizational creativity and innovation
  • How to recognize and assess the helpfulness in your organization
  • How to foster more helpfulness, and thus more innovation in your organization

Help yourself and your organization by learning the secrets of helpfulness.
