Session description:

Innovation is not just about coming up with new ideas for service and programs. It’s a way to think about how you solve all the challenging facing your organization.

This leadership development session examines the complexity of dilemmas facing today’s organizational leaders and provides a simple and powerful tool to organize your thinking and uncover new possibilities for moving forward. Research and experience show that the success of any organizational initiative depends on the fit between the situation you’re facing the planning and implementation tools used to address it. The Three-Lens Conversation (TLC) is a practical tool that will help you lead change under challenging and uncertain conditions.

TLC can be applied to almost any organizational dilemma. You will learn to see innovation in a new light, and understand which organizational capacities are most likely to provide the greatest leverage for successful leadership.

Your session takeaways:

• The ability to map organizational dilemmas on a complexity continuum;
• The ability to match the type of situation you are facing to appropriate management tools and methods and to see how different management approaches support and reinforce each other.
• Practice three key practices for leading in challenging times. There will be an interactive panel discussion on this session topic in the afternoon.
