The value of having an innovation coach.
Behavioural coaching is big business, by having your personal coach alongside you when you are making a significant change in your role has been invaluable to many executives.
Equally in having external support when someone is either stepping up in the organization or making a significant change in their responsibilities has recognised value to that person and to the organization to manage the transition.
There is significant value in employing an innovation coach in my opinion, let me explain why here.
The growth of the innovation coach
I predict innovation coaching will grow in its recognition, value and importance in the future. Why?
There is a growing sense of urgency around the need for innovation to solve our growth problems. This quest for seeking out growth and new opportunities continues to raise innovation consciousness.
We all are aware that part of the barriers to better innovation adoption come from our existing and constrained mental models, so when you introduce the need for greater innovation you introduce multiplicity- you get challenged more, and your current framework of ‘business as usual’ gets disturbed significantly.
What is called for increasingly is a far more open mind that allows for opening up and gaining greater connectivity on a host of different levels.
The more we connect, the more we see innovation potential.
