Innovation in IT rarely fails due to a lack of ideas. It fails when teams lack time, safe constraints, and practical methods to turn creativity into value. This one-day course gives IT leaders a brain-based, plain-English approach to generate better options, choose what matters, and take small, low-risk steps that build momentum. It also includes a practical view of AI as an innovation accelerator – where it creates value (and where it doesn’t).
Need this course for your team?
Run it as an In-house Team Delivery session – private, practical, and delivered in your context.
In this one-day course, you will:
- Understand how brain state and working conditions affect creativity – and how to create the right environment for better thinking.
- Translate business and delivery challenges into clear innovation opportunities (problem framing, constraints, and success measures).
- Use practical idea-generation techniques to create more (and better) options quickly – individually and with teams.
- Prioritise ideas using simple value, feasibility, and risk lenses – so innovation decisions are explainable and repeatable.
- Design safe-to-try experiments and minimum viable tests – turning ideas into learning and value without big bets.
- Leave with a clear direction and a 90-day plan to embed an innovation cadence and build momentum.
Who it’s for:
- CIOs, Heads of IT, and IT leadership teams who need innovation to deliver measurable value (not theatre).
- Transformation, product, platform, and delivery leads who want practical techniques to generate better options under real constraints.
- Enterprise architecture and strategy leads shaping new capabilities and needing a repeatable innovation approach.
- Senior managers and team leads who want to build a more creative, resilient, and adaptive culture in IT.
What you will leave with:
- An Innovation Opportunity Canvas (problem, constraints, stakeholders, and success measures).
- An Idea Portfolio Snapshot (shortlist of options with value and feasibility notes).
- A simple Prioritisation Scorecard (value, effort, risk, and time-to-impact prompts).
- An Experiment Plan template (hypothesis, test, measures, and next steps).
- A lightweight Innovation Cadence guide (rituals, timeboxes, and decision points).
- A 90-day innovation plan (what to trial first, owners, and review rhythm).
How the course works:
Live, instructor-led and built around realistic IT scenarios. You will use simple templates and guided activities to generate options, prioritise quickly, and design small experiments. This is a one-day course – practical, focused, and designed to be applied straight away.
Included:
- Templates, canvases and checklists
- Participant workbook and course materials
