Change is the only constant in life. The workplace is no exception. Companies undergo reorganization, mergers, acquisitions, and smaller but no less significant disruptions every day. Leaders at all levels need to enable their organizations to develop a culture of change that embraces change as a dynamic force of innovation creating a competitive advantage.
In this course you can discover the skills, tools, and systems needed to succeed in an ever-changing landscape. Instructor Jerry Pico has led dozens of companies through cultural transformations big and small. He integrates real-life examples from his consulting practice and in-house experience into the course. He focuses on network leadership and learning agility, and shows how to build a culture that thrives on changes in an increasingly complex world. Follow along and learn how to embrace change, make it less stressful for you and your team, and use it as a dynamic force for growth.

In this course, eParachute founder Gary Bolles explains how to help managers become more adaptive, so that they can solve new problems as the world changes rapidly around them. Gary shares how to create an environment where adaptive managers can thrive, and discusses how to manage an adaptive workforce. He also outlines the specific "knowledge's," skills, and traits of adaptive managers, and how leaders can scale adaptively in their organizations.
No company can survive without innovation. Large or small, new or old, for profit or nonprofit, all organizations need to keep morphing to succeed. But how do you nurture nonstop innovation? Strategy experts Anil Gupta and Haiyan Wang outline the core logic of innovation and show how leaders at many companies and nonprofits—including Apple, Amazon, Google and Khan Academy—nurture innovation without losing control. They outline the multiple ways—including design thinking, lean startup, and collaborative innovation—in which any organization can innovate. They also show how companies can change the rules of the game by dramatically redefining the target customer, rethinking the value proposition for the customer, and/or re-engineering the value chain. And, they discuss the why and how of digital transformation and social innovation. Use these strategies to uncover new pathways to innovation at your organization.

Jeff discusses behaviors and techniques that can help you generate creative ideas, as well as a method for bringing your ideas to the marketplace.
