As CEOs and Exec teams start to consider what strategic plans they want to explore with their boards during their Autumn strategy sessions, here's a little something different.

I am delighted to invite you to participate in a new DIN experience programme exclusively for CEOs and Exec teams who are interested in ‘leading for innovation’. We know from our many conversations we have with members, there is some frustration and gridlock when trying to combine different strategic objectives. For example aligning your corporate aims with your innovation ambitions. 

Facilitated by global corporate strategist and best-selling author Cris Beswick, I promise you will not have experienced this type and level of insights and learning before.  This leadership programme is designed to prepare you for your own boards strategic planning sessions in the Autumn; accelerating two important areas - organisational growth and strategy alignment. 

This two day retreat is aimed at CEOs and Exec Directors and ideally for the team to come along and share the learning and discussion. 

How the programme will benefit you and your organisation:

• Clearly defining innovation for your organisation. 
• How to meaningfully embed corporate innovation into core strategy. 
• Link this effectively to your own personal operating environment and develop relevant KPIs to understand and measure your journey and its effectiveness. 
• Building the right level of innovation activity (spoiler, it’s not a focus on disruption!).
• How to build the right idea development and governance capability. 
• How to lead FOR innovation and cascade that throughout your organisation. 
• Core requirements for building a culture FOR innovation. 
• Grasp essential aspects of the design, planning and implementation of a corporate innovation strategy. 
• Understand how to engage and secure buy in from your board. 
• Share and learn with likeminded CEOs and Exec Directors 
• Innovation Maturity Assessment results allowing you to apply the above learnings to the specific identified barriers holding innovation back inside your organisation. 

To ensure maximum learning, places are limited to 20 participants.
