In this dynamic session, we will discuss the key leadership values necessary in order to drive innovation through and beyond times of crisis.
How we innovate now and the values we demonstrate will deeply influence how our stakeholders react to us when things go back to normality. In this session, we will help you to understand these important concepts and how to apply them to achieve effective results.
You will also be able to experience how we educate & facilitate at Headspring, where most professors are – like professor Balvinder Singh Powar – practitioners leading exciting projects globally.
Join us to learn and move forward together.

Learn more about Balvinder PowarWhat is the most important factor in innovation? Trust is probably one of the most important things in innovation because this is a value that's overlying and transversal to everything. And trust helps us to create a safe environment. If we have a safe environment, we're more likely to give more. (...) When people give more, they give more when the purpose is aligned, when they think they're doing good for themselves and others, and when they feel they have autonomy and feel valued. They're learning as they're working. So if we can put that into the equation, we're more likely to have an innovative and creative environment.
How to make the team more creative and innovative? Create an environment where people feel safe to share ideas. Ask them: What sort of environment? What sort of company culture do you want where you feel safe to share ideas, even if they're very much out of the box? (...) If people see there's a win for them and feel valued, and it aligns with purpose, people are more likely to be creative. People come up with incredible ideas because they feel safe to give them and we create an environment where we foster that type of innovation.
If we have the right foundation in the team of people who are more likely to be more creative, we're more likely to innovate. Balvinder Singh Powar
