We hope that our collaboration will have a profound transformational impact, empowering you with the tools, knowledge, self awareness and confidence you can use to go beyond your limits and achieve the most daring dreams, in business and personal life. |
A relationship
|
| |
We believe in building relations that reach over beyond contracts and work environments. The trust and the invisible links formed when people work together and build something new, unique and extraordinary are the basis of future friendships and life-long collaborations. Such relations take time to build and we will be honored if you’ll choose to dedicate this time to us. |
The foundation of our services is built on
- Systematic innovation and TRIZ
- Group Flow and effective Collaboration
- Leadership Skills
Systematic Innovation is
- a collection of tools: you can use any of them and adjust it to fit your needs
- a complete method you can implement "as is" to cover your innovation needs
- a philosophy
As Darrell Mann wrote in his book “Hands on Systematic Innovation for Business and Management”, the main findings of systematic innovation research incorporating the knowledge and experience of world’s finest inventive minds, are:
- There are only a small number of fundamentally different types of problems
- Someone, somewhere, therefore, has already solved a problem something like the one you wish to solve
- There are only a small number of possible strategies for generating inventive solutions
- System evolution trends are highly predictable
- The strongest solutions transform the unwanted or harmful elements of a system into useful resources
- The strongest solutions also actively seek and destroy the conflicts and trade-offs most design practices assume to be fundamental
Group flow and effective Collaboration are some of the most important factors we can influence at an organizational level in a business environment. Most successful ideas are born and develop in a web of formal and informal relations that extend well beyond your organization. While we cannot control these relations, we can create the proper environment to foster them.
Leadership skills, creativity and innovation skills are tightly interconnected with each other. Strategic thinking, systems thinking, creative thinking, decisiveness, taking risks, managing change, controlling and monitoring, enthusiasm, building relationships and developing others, communication and collaboration, listening and influencing, trust, continuous learning and self awareness – all of them (and others too) are skills that define both leadership and good innovation management at a personal or corporate level.
As innovation is a very practical, results oriented process, we believe in leadership training that has a profound transformational impact. This training should not be limited to learning about some skills, it should change you to a point that all these skills are an integral part of who you are. This is why we promote and implement Skills Kit for Leaders - a comprehensive program offered in Canada exclusively by The Fulcrum Group, containing 42 Self-Study Competency Building Resource Units. Please contact us for more details and to design a learning plan focused on maximizing the impact of leadership skills on your innovative capability (as a person or organization).
