Masterclasses

In addition to keynote speeches and public seminars, Rowan Gibson also conducts more extensive innovation masterclasses for large groups of executives (usually between 80 and 130 people). Usually, these in-company events are one, two or three days in duration (although other versions may also be arranged). They are designed to immerse an organization’s key people in the skills and the tools of radical innovation, and to create a shared understanding among senior executives about what is necessary to make innovation a deep, sustainable enterprise capability. Each masterclass is customized to fit the specific audience and industry sector, and includes faciltated break-out sessions as well as team presentations. Rowan provides the teams with all the tools and exercises they need for strategic insight discovery and radical idea generation, based on the “Four Lenses of Innovation” – the proven methodology outlined in Rowan’s book, Innovation to the Core.

The break-out sessions typically produce a wide portfolio of high quality insights and actionable ideas, which your organization can then start to screen and align with strategy, with a view to funding new experiments and innovation projects. Another outcome is specific and measurable goals which the executive team commits to at the conclusion of the masterclass, all aimed at embedding innovation into the organization’s core managerial DNA.
