Supporting your approach to Innovation

Structure

Is your organisation set up to review and act upon innovative ideas from wherever they might arise? All organisations will admit, even if they think they are serving their customers in a responsive and anticipatory way that seeks to delight them, that they need to innovate. Yet it can be difficult to be sure that your organisation is fit to innovate.

A commission from the Centre for Innovation and Collaborative Engineering has resulted in an insight into a peer group of senior and chief executives within the construction sector about how they approach innovation. Reflecting on these approaches John is able to review your approach or give guidance on enhancing your approach to innovation.
