Innovation tends to happen when new possibilities (technology) meet strong incentives (need, competition, or pressure) in an environment that supports experimentation (talent, culture, capital).
Drivers of innovation inside organisations include:
For innovation to be embedded into the DNA of your organisation teams need to feel empowered to experiment with new concepts and ideas, and in the words of Amy Edmondosn ‘be allowed to fail fast’. By helping leaders create feedback and learning loops, and pushing decision making downwards, MODAL equips leaders and teams with tools they can immediately apply. We can also help develop a culture that embraces calculated risk taking and a mindset where people don’t feel they will be punished for making mistakes. MODAL has extensive experience in helping break down silos and integrating teams across functions to collaborate for innovation.
Status quo mentality
Change resistance
Perfectionistic culture
Increased organisational agility
Willingness to try new things
Increased speed and ownership of change
MODAL recognises that organisations that have cultures with low avoidance and oppositional mindsets, and that have high achievement and collaboration focus are more productive. We can help measure and benchmark your culture (separate from employee engagement). We can do this at the whole of organisation, department or team level. We help co-design culture development plans to close culture gaps and provide development programs. We can assist in breaking down silos and improving a one team culture, and help build trust between organisational levels, as well as helping leaders work more at the right level. We can help teams become more innovative in their approach and develop leaders to more effectively manage change resistance.
