Attitude for Innovation Workshop
Workshop for Faculty and Staff
Wednesday, June 8, 2016 · 8:30 AM - 12:30 PM
For an organization to harness its capacity for innovation, it is crucial to instill an attitude in its team members that promotes an innovative environment. Once this attitude is in place, the next step is to promote constructive communication among those committed innovative thinking. Innovation stems from the effective interaction of diverse minds and the interrelation of diverse opportunities. By allowing and encouraging dialogue with all individuals’ thoughts, experiences, and opinions, an organization can drive the generation of quality solutions and ideas. In this workshop, taught by Marc Kolp, of UMBC Training Centers, faculty and staff participants will learn to:
- Identify attitudes that foster innovation
- Adopt an innovative attitude
- Recognize methods for introducing innovative attitudes to their own environment as well as across the organization
- Foster conversation across different levels of the organization
- Understand the importance of developing “diverse” work teams
- Create an open and transparent work environment
