THE INNOVATION RACING LINE: Strategic Planning Canvas
Navigating to the future faster by executing a winning strategy. 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.
Available for: Coaches, Independent Leaders & Licenced Partners. (Basic model & info is contained on the canvas, and in the online leader's course. Prior knowledge of the Dynamic Polar Positioning (DPoP) model & the teams iCLi profiling would be valuable.) Can also be printed.
The Innovation Racing Line: Strategic planning canvas, helps leaders and their teams to deal with competing innovation demands by using this canvas to effectively create a winning strategic plan. Leaders that select this program want to engage a team to explore how leaders can identify & use to their benefit the paradoxical tension in leadership teams, when it comes to planning a way forwards (road map).
The Innovation Racing Line Strategic Planning Canvas uses the metaphor of 'The Racing Line', Dr Grant's Dynamic Polar Positioning tool (DPoP) and the Innovative Change Leader (iCLi) assessment all combined into a simple strategic planning canvas.
Preparation for innovation requires strategic project planning and implementation. This means getting from a start point to the finish line in the most efficient and effective way possible. To do this requires an ability to read and navigate a path that will enable maximum speed, but also to anticipate and mitigate risks. This powerful combination will ensure leaders and teams can build the best strategy by planning the most effective routes.
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’ to navigate the chosen path successfully.
Dr Gaia Grant’s latest research reveals how understanding ‘Paradoxical Innovation Orientations’ (PIOs) and applying the ‘Dynamic Polar Positioning Tool’ (DPoP) 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 and then apply it to strategic planning. 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.

The team leader/coach will enroll in this online course in order to get access to the ONLINE THE INNOVATION RACING LINE: Strategic Planning Canvas
The actual canvas session takes place on a Miroboard. This course is to set the leader up to run the session (and to make payment). THE INNOVATION RACING LINE: Strategic Planning Canvas comes complete with instructions, videos & steps, for the leader to run the core elements of the program independently.
The canvas / miroboard can be used virtually, printed AND OR digitally in a face-to-face workshop, where the group uses their laptops and the leader a screen at the front of the room. All changes made on a laptop will automatically reflect on everyone else's laptop and leaders (screen).
This canvas is not content-heavy. It's a tool/canvas to be used for discussion and strategic planning. For coaches wanting to dive deep into the content, we recommend becoming trained and accredited. This can be achieved by enrolling in the coaching course, participating in a workshop and or becoming fully licensed.
Please note this course and canvas purchase is for single leaders and coaches to use with their small teams. It is not for large-scale commercial use. (this requires a license and train the trainer course.)

In addition, to the Collaborator Canvas (this course), there are other Action Board and Gamified simulation tools such as The Innovation Action Boards, Team Coaching boards and The Innovation Racing Line, that can be used to achieve innovative leadership change. These tools can be delivered virtually/coaching session or face to face, 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 (large) team at the end of a workshop session.

Noting that this canvas board is for team coaching only. Anything larger should fall under the engagement of a complete workshop or full licencing partnership agreement.
ANSWER: Independent Self-Led Leaders & Coaches- It’s recommended to repurchase a new board each time, for new teams, especially if the team wants to keep their current canvas live, (allowing them to revisit and update it). However at a squeeze, it can be reused by the same purchaser, noting the canvas would need to be reset (scrubbed) by the purchaser. Fully licensed partners - get unlimited access to the canvases and the equivalent physical table versions, if it forms part of their contract in the context of a full workshop & TTT contract.
