Many associate innovation with breakthrough technologies or major industry disruptions, but innovation starts with leadership and mindset. In a rapidly changing world, leaders must guide their teams to think beyond traditional boundaries and embrace new ways of solving challenges. Yet, breaking free from conventional thinking is easier said than done.
Why do so many teams default to skepticism or 'idea killers' when discussing new solutions? How can leaders foster a culture of curiosity and experimentation, reduce resistance to change, and inspire their teams to engage with new ideas?
Innovation is not just about processes or tools—it’s about unlocking the potential of people.
In this session, Rody provides actionable insights and practical tips for leveraging design thinking and innovative leadership to drive engagement, productivity, and impactful outcomes.
During the expert session, Rody Vonk engages the audience through a live exercise using the Mentimeter app, a Q&A session, and sharing inspiring examples of innovation from various industries. He emphasizes the importance of an open-minded approach in brainstorming sessions and provides insights into effective techniques for generating innovative ideas.
Additionally, he discusses the significance of teamwork and collaboration, as well as balancing exploitation and exploration in business processes. Throughout the session, Rody encourages the audience to challenge assumptions and embrace creativity as a crucial skill for future workforces.
Innovation is often seen as synonymous with groundbreaking technologies or industry-altering disruptions, but its true foundation lies in leadership and mindset. In today's fast-paced world, leaders play a crucial role in steering their teams towards thinking beyond conventional norms and embracing innovative approaches to tackle challenges.
However, breaking free from traditional thought patterns and fostering a culture of innovation can be a daunting task.
Many teams tend to default to skepticism or adopt 'idea killer' attitudes when faced with new solutions. This session delves into the reasons behind such resistance and explores strategies for leaders to cultivate an environment of curiosity and experimentation.
By understanding the psychological barriers to change, leaders can inspire their teams to become more open to novel ideas and approaches, thereby reducing resistance and enhancing engagement.
Rody will share practical insights and tips on how leaders can leverage design thinking principles and innovative leadership to transform team dynamics. This session will equip participants with the tools to foster a culture of continuous learning and experimentation, driving not only increased productivity but also meaningful and impactful outcomes.
By the end of the session, attendees will have a clearer understanding of how to unlock the full potential of their teams through the power of innovative leadership.
From the survey every participant gets when the session ends, in their own words.
This was amazing, I like the format, interaction and overall professionalism. What I appreciate the most is how knowledgeable your speakers are. Thumbs up to Roby. Thank you, you gave me something to think about. I learnt something new.
The lecture was very well structured with clear and interesting examples for each point presented, this will surely help to better remember the key topics
A great way to give training, fast, interactive, lively, fresh and modern. This brings fresh impulses again and brings knowledge back, which was fallen in the back of the mind. Thanks.
Thanks for this interresting leqture as usual
We saw a little bit of everything. The big picture. Maybe it would be also interesting to focus on something specific: a work dynamic, creative session, etc.
It is interactive, and the block above says exactly how for this session. Nobody has to speak up who does not want to: the chat and the polls carry most of it, and the questions can come in anonymously.
Many associate innovation with breakthrough technologies or major industry disruptions, but innovation starts with leadership and mindset. In a rapidly changing world, leaders must guide their teams to think beyond traditional boundaries and embrace new ways of solving challenges. It is built for a general working audience: no prior knowledge is assumed, and people who already know the subject get the research and the practical side rather than an introduction.
Rody Vonk is one of the experts we auditioned ourselves, and we produce every session so we see how each one lands. Participants rate this session 4.4 out of 5, across 34 responses, and rate Rody personally 4.6 out of 5.
It runs 45 min / 15 min: the talk, then live questions. All you do is pick a date. We brief Rody, produce the session, host and moderate it, run the Q&A, and send you the report within an hour of the end.
A team, a department, an employee network or every single employee at once, with no cap and no per-seat price. It runs inside your own Microsoft Teams, Zoom or Google Meet, or on a branded page we build. No integration, no login, no company device or e-mail.
The session is delivered in English, Dutch. You can add high accuracy live subtitles in 8, 16 or 24 languages, so everyone follows in their own. That is a paid option, priced by the number of languages you need.
No, and that is by design. There is nothing to install, nothing to integrate and no connection to your systems, so there is nothing for IT to validate: we join your own Teams, Zoom or Meet as a guest speaker, or we host a page and your people open a link. No software, no accounts, and no data of yours that we can reach. It is why hundreds of companies, among them some of the largest technology and financial firms in the world, were able to start within a day.
We never receive or hold personal data about your employees. Because the session runs in your own environment, attendance and identity stay with you, and what we report back is aggregated: numbers, ratings and survey answers, not people. That is also why IT approval usually takes minutes rather than weeks.
You keep the recording and can share it internally. You also get attendance over time, participant ratings for the content and the speaker, the survey answers, and the topics your people asked for next.
