The Future-Ready Leadership Coaching Program Training course is designed to prepare coaches and leaders for delivering feedback on the Innovation Change Leadership (iCLi) profile measure.

‘Future-ready leadership’ skills are critical work and life skills for all. This ‘Future-Ready Leadership’ approach is based on the latest research into how to be an ‘innovative change leader’ for sustainable success.

This coach training course is ideal for developing skills for coaching and leading as a coach within the organisation, as well as for independent coaches to use in a commercial coaching context.

The coaching training program based on this approach includes a fascinating validated assessment and interactive exercises.

This approach helps with the exploration of individual unique ‘Innovative Change Leadership’ (iCLi) profiles. Through participating 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 help ensure they are propelled forward by the creative dynamic between these positions rather than potentially threatened by the tension.

Through this process participants come to appreciate the importance of becoming ambidextrous, aligned and agile future-ready leaders.

INNOVATIVE CHANGE LEADERSHIP TOOLS

Multiple tools to enable a deeper more enriched experience.


These Tools, Collaborative Canvases, Action Boards, and Gamified Simulations can be used in a variety of ways including being integrated into a face-to-face or virtual workshop/coaching session, AND as an extension for leaders to explore the concepts in more detail with their teams. The online canvas comes complete with instructions, videos, and steps, for any leader to run independently OR engage a professional facilitator to run as part of a complete (content-rich) workshop.


Coaches can purchase and then use these additional tools to work with individuals and small teams.

Most of the tools in this INNOVATION suite require some understanding of the key models used such as the: Innovative Change  Leader Inventory (iLCI) and the Dynamic Polar Positioning Tool  (DPoP) 


Diagnose faster. Collaborate better. Independent leaders and teams can now diagnose issues faster and collaborate better. These Core Elements courses are based on unique self-led Collaborator Canvases and Gamified Simulations. These resources are designed to create safe spaces for teams to discuss challenges and identify effective solution strategies to ensure tension drives sustainable innovation.

 

1) Ambidextrous Leadership Collaborative Team Coaching Canvas: A coaching canvas that can be used to identify areas of tension and opportunities within a team. 

2) iCLi (Innovation Change Leader Inventory) Assessment (Individual, team, and Organisation, +360)

3) Innovation Action Board: Designed to capture all the learnings, data and action plans used by a full team at the end of a workshop session.

4) The Innovation Racing Line: Strategic Planning Canvas: Uses the uniquely developed Dynamic Polar Positioning tool (DPoP) to ensure leaders and teams can build the best strategy through planning the most effective route. Teams learn how to map out a sustainable path, breaking the strategy down into distinct sections (including anticipating the challenging curves), and identifying the best ‘racing line’ and crew to navigate the chosen path successfully.  

5) The Innovation Race: Destinations Simulation & Culture Mapping – Collaborators Canvas
An immersive simulation (full licensed workshop) designed to help teams explore the organization’s strategic positioning. Using the Dynamic Polar Positioning (DPoP) model, this simulation identifies current and desired states to look at the big picture and map the organization’s capabilities and gaps. The end output is to establish a strategic sustainable innovative path with implementable action plans.
