Why Do Innovation Efforts Often Stall?

Now a days, if an employee wants to develop a certain skill there a plenty of books and online courses to learn the theory. If you really want to develop team mindset and skills, you have to give employees room to play.  

In many organizations, innovation stalls due to insufficient customer insights, inadequate support structures, and resistance to change. These barriers hinder teams from effectively bringing new ideas to fruition.

I have a 3-phase approach to design programs that train teams to test new ideas, build new ventures, or scale an existing one, while keeping them aligned with your organization’s goals and challenges.

Innovation agenda
