Is your organization positioned to pivot? Learn to assess, improve and innovate for success in a rapidly changing world.
We've all recently experienced our organizations responding to major business challenges. Are you ready to take on a major change in direction? How can you increase your readiness?
Rotman's Innovation Readiness for a New Normal virtual program provides you with quantitative data about how you respond to innovation challenges and the tools you need to improve.
Over two intense half days, you'll learn and practice how to adopt new ideas and more readily adapt to business challenges. You'll also receive personal, targeted feedback on how to improve your innovative capacity, starting with an assessment developed by the best minds in the business and moving on to hands-on practice. This program is focused on your individual innovation readiness and identifying, then learning ways to improve your innovative mindset and actions. It can be applied to all sectors.
Flexible Learning Design during COVID-19
Don't feel alone while you learn online. We've designed this program to respect both the challenges of working from home while maintaining and building connections with a class of your peers across different industries and organizations. You'll still gain the networking and learning benefits of our in-class programs while learning from the comfort of your own home.
Stay connected by building communities of practice
We'll help you stay connected with your peers after the program ends. Using prompts designed by our experts, you'll support each other as you test your initiatives. Strengthen your peer network and sustain your learning by building communities of practice with your peers.

What is the Innovation Readiness Scale?

By measuring your specific personality traits, level of adoption of new ideas, and level of adaptability to new cultures, it reflects your innovation readiness and potential.
