Ambidextrous Future-Ready Leadership Collaborator Canvas:  Coach team tensions more effectively.


This session focuses on the iCLi assessment and uses an online fully interactive coaching canvas. It is designed for a coach to use with a team to provide feedback on innovative leadership capabilities, gaps and development opportunities. An ideal way to explore the concepts of Ambidextrous Leadership, this session can assist with addressing the tensions facing teams that need to innovate and face change. This is a great way to debrief the Innovation Climate Leadership Inventory (iCLi) profile results and utilizing the strengths of a diverse team.

Leaders that select this program want to engage a team to explore how leaders can identify & make sense of the paradoxical tension in leadership teams, The coach will use the team tension to gravitate a team forwards being constructive, rather than allowing the team to ripping themselves apart. The session charts a path to help leaders identify & assess their own and the team’s readiness for innovation, ensuring long terms sustainable innovation. 

  

WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR? 

  1. Coaches who have completed the Ambidextrous Future-Ready Leadership - Coaching Accreditation course & certification for using the Innovation Change Leadership Inventory (iCLi),  can use this team canvas for small work teams.
  2. Leaders and their teams who want to explore their iCLi profiles using a virtual setting. (recommend to take the accreditation course to gain a full understanding on how the tools work)
  3. Leaders who have participated in the full  INNOVATE professionally facilitated sessions and would like to use the iCLi profiling and canvas for their teams.


ABOUT THE iCi and iCLi MEASURES

The iCLi & iCi measures will help individuals and organisations to identify strengths in innovative thinking and future readiness, along with potential areas for development. Our research has revealed that the best innovators are able to work in both:


‘EXPLORATION’ mode (having the ability to think broadly and make diverse connections for ideation) AND

‘PRESERVATION’ mode (solution focused thinking for implementable innovation outcomes).

These profiling tools identify four key ‘paradoxical pairings’ that have been proven to assist with innovation in these two modes. It is through effectively balancing both polar positions of the paradox at each stage of the innovation process that individuals will have the most success.

 

The iCLi measure enables you to see where you are currently positioned between these two poles. You will be able to easily see if they have balance on both sides, or if you have developed a strength on one side at the expense of the other. You will be able to identify whether you are more likely to be able to innovate through connections and collaboration with people (people focus), or through task competencies (task focus). You will be able to identify the challenges of operating at the extremes (with the potential for burnout) and where there are shortcomings (the potential for ineffectiveness).


THE TENSION

The session is designed to reveal how to build a culture that supports purposeful and sustainable innovation and growth.

Dr Gaia Grant’s latest research reveals how understanding ‘Paradoxical Innovation Orientations’ (PIOs) and applying the ‘Polar Positioning Tool’ (PoP) at the individual, team and organisation levels can assist with fuelling innovation and sustainable growth. In this program participants learn how to manage the dynamic tension between the principles of exploration, for breakthrough new innovation ideas, and preservation, for incremental continuous improvement. They learn how to lead teams to ensure they are propelled forward rather than ripped apart by the creative tension. Through this process participants come to appreciate the importance of becoming ambidextrous, agile and aligned future-ready leaders.

Drawing from her research with thousands of survey responses, multiple interviews with global executives and deep dive case study immersions - along with fascinating case studies from her consulting work with organisations over 30 years - these sessions reveal how leaders can foster sustainable development.


WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

  • How to move forward to embrace change, and how a leader can manage this tension using the paradox theory of understanding ‘exploration’ and ‘preservation’ biases.
  • How to use innovation tensions successfully to become future ready, rather than have the tensions of ‘change’ tear a team / organisation apart.
  • Your own bias towards innovation through the validated ‘Innovation Change Leader’ (iCLi) profile measure, and identify if you are ready to be an innovative leader
  • Identify how to lead and manage innovation through successfully navigating the 4 key innovation paradoxes.
  • Understand the ‘Paradoxical Innovation Leadership Orientations’ (PILOs) and how they can assist with strategic alignment and enable leadership ambidexterity

  • Identify gaps in perceptions between self-perceptions and perceptions from others.
  • Develop strategies for self-improvement.
