Our Core Competencies
Who Should Attend:
Who should attend:
a. If you have an 'innovative solution'* to a problem that you would like to test?
b. If you have gone through some kind of innovation process/tools (for example design thinking or something similar) to identify a problem and developed an 'innovative solution idea/concept'* but are not sure whether to launch it full scale in a real world environment?
If the answer to above two questions is yes, then this two days course on 'Innovation Sandboxing' is for you
Note: *it can be an 'organisational solution' (for an internal problem) or an external 'public-facing solution' (for a public related problem)?
Suggestions:
We strongly suggest that minimum two people (maximum 5) from same organisation who are working on an 'innovative solution idea/concept' join the course together for two key reasons:
(i) You will have people from your one context and team to work along on a real problem during the course
(ii) After the course, the same team can bring the workshop outcome back into your organisations.
Programme Overview
In
this course you will learn the concept, process and tools of ‘Innovation
Sandboxing’. ‘Innovation Sandbox’ is a ‘safe space’ to ‘test and validate’
your ‘innovative solutions’ in a ‘real-world’ environment with certain
‘boundary conditions’ as safeguards so that the failure does not result in
damage to the organisation. Essentially sandboxing starts when you have
generated an ideal solution and are ready to start to implement it. Whereas
innovation process/tools like design thinking or something similar helps you to
generate a user centred and innovative solution, sandboxing gives you a process
and toolset to bring these solutions to life. Sandboxes can be mainly of two
types:
Internal Sandbox
Organisational Sandbox - to test
and validate organisational improvement solutions. For example - change
management, internal training or new organisational initiatives.
External Sandbox
Corporate Sandbox - to test
public facing / customer facing solutions.
Regulatory Sandbox - to test
solutions which don’t fit in existing ‘regulatory’ frameworks.
If you have an ‘innovative solution’ that falls
under any of these categories and you would like to learn the process and tools
to test & validate these solutions in a safe environment, this course is
for you
Learning Outcomes
At the end of the programme, you will be able to:
- Reinforce learning about
fundamentals of innovation
- Reflect and realise organisational
and personal blind spots that kill innovation
- Learn and understand the concept,
process and tools of ‘innovation sandboxing’ explained through case
studies from the public sector.
- Learn to apply the process and tools
of innovation sandboxing in the context of your own ‘solution
idea/concept’ (that you have for a particular problem that you are trying
to address in your organisation).
