You have been hired to help an organisation become more innovative. You are given several weeks to draft an overall innovation strategy for the organisation. You can use your organisation, create an imaginary organisation or pick a company you know well. (Use a Medium sized business that could realistically use your recommendations.) Your report should include these sections (use page requirements as guidelines): 1. Create a one page briefing for executives – what they need to know to better understand how to harness the creativity of staff to foster more innovative solutions and innovations. 2. Create a one page overview of your overall objectives, philosophy or approach – include; · how you will focus on new product / service innovation, and · how you will shape a culture open to new ideas. 3. Create a two page plan of the key strategies and tactics you would recommend and summarize the key measures and financial or cost elements of the program. Write this section like an executive summary (recognizing that the final plan would be longer). Link your tactics to the strategies you recommend. You can base some of your recommendations on your previous assignments. I strongly suggest you use some of your assignments for your strategy. 4. Conclusion: Create one page on your rationale: why you selected a particular philosophy, the approaches and objectives, and how you arrived at these outputs. You should show the connection and application of the theory and techniques learned through the course. Scope: This assignment will assess your understanding of the course topics presented over the four days of teaching and required reading and your ability to distill the concepts to shape recommendations and strategies. Length and Presentation: 2500-3000 words Criteria by which your assessment will be marked: · Delivered on time. · Clarity of the writing. · Understanding of the topic. · Delivering the required topics / themes as outlined in this document. · Insight that is demonstrated in using the content to shape ideas, strategies or tactices.
