Field Study: IDEO in Action
Participants spend half a day at IDEO, the world-famous innovation consultancy
that designed the first production computer mouse, to observe cutting-edge
innovation processes in action and partake in group-based exercises.
Process Gains and Process Losses in Teams: Lost in the Desert Exercise
In these two sessions, we will use the context of a group decision-making task to explore the ways in which team members can get their voice heard. In addition, we will identify strategies for structuring teams to improve members' ability to hear and incorporate divergent and minority opinions.
The Power of Social Networks
In this session we introduce the concept of social capital, and discuss how it can be developed to increase one's influence and prominence within organizations, industries and professions. A framework will be introduced to help participants analyze the effectiveness of their own social networks for pursuing specific goals. Participants will take part in an exercise that illustrates an effective approach to building social networks.
