Do you need to enable "Human Centered Innovation" where you work?

We've got you covered from A to Z!

It’s no secret: Innovation has been a top strategic priority for CEOs for over a decade. To tackle this priority, most organizations start with new idea campaigns and some form of design thinking.

As a leader, you know it takes much more than that.

You know that being innovative, thinking innovatively, and acting innovatively has its own set of competencies distinct from subject matter expertise:

  • Enabling innovation means more than just producing great new products; it means getting everyone to add value by doing things new, better or different in their every day work
  • Energizing people to be innovative takes a deep level of intrinsic motivation and meaning
  • Thinking innovatively is a cognitive skill that people practice in very different ways
  • The process for innovation needs to be emotionally satisfying as well as mentally rigorous
  • Building collaborative innovative teamwork requires psychological safety as much as brainpower

You have an indispensable role to play when it comes to building and strengthening these capabilities within your organization.

Whether you’re in an early or mature stage of enabling innovation in your organization, you and your colleagues need to consistently refresh your capability, credibility, resourcing, and knowledge for building and strengthening innovation capabilities in a coherent manner.

That's where you and VCI can work together – not only to make your life easier, but also to ensure your success each step of the way.

VCI offers the only fully-integrated suite of innovation competency-building courses available as virtual, online self-paced and blended learning, as well as onsite workshops.

When you need to build innovation capabilities, we've got you covered. With VCI's suite of onsite or online/blended courses, you can take a leap forward in how you:

  • Meet your strategic goals for innovation
  • Enhance engagement and career development at the same time
  • Develop leaders to be practitioners, coaches and sponsors for innovation

  • Strengthen meaning and motivation based in good character and values

In addition to launching a next generation course on "Conscious Human Centered Design" in 2021, we also plan to launch a course featuring our "Meaningful Engagement" module, which includes our Human Values self-assessment.

+ Do you also offer blended learning, virtual and onsite workshops?

Yes. Certifying and empowering your trainers, facilitators and coaches is our strength!

We can customize certification to best fit your needs using onsite workshops, offsite coaching and/or online courses. Some of the certification courses are available online now. If a module is not available online, we can conduct the certification through onsite workshops or offsite coaching.

We have 2 types of certification, one for trainers and one for coaches. The Trainer Certification is designed for those who want to deliver workshop sessions to people who have not yet been trained in a module. The Coach Certification is designed for those who want to coach people who have taken a workshop or online course about a module and need to apply it to their work. If a person needs flexibility to both train and coach others, we recommend obtaining both certifications.

Each certification program includes extensive resources such as: downloadable videos, PPT slides, workbooks, exercise materials and more.

The VCI Difference

VCI’s diverse work with global cultures since the mid-1980s gives us grounded experience and insight into how individuals, teams, and entire organizations innovate.

Now, all of this experience is available to you, so you can "innovate your way" and thrive in these complex times.

Why VCI?

We're focused on you - You have work to do and positive results to produce; it’s our job to make your work more motivating, innovative and easier.

Results oriented - For us innovation is doing things in a new, better or different way and producing a positive benefit; that’s our passion and purpose in everything we do.

Strength based - Our analytics and self-assessments are designed to build the self-awareness, self-esteem and confidence it takes to be innovative; we balance inner transformation with mastering new capabilities.

Integrated and coherent - Our models, processes and tools have a common language and understanding, so you can feel confident that each time you engage in a VCI course, it will reinforce what you've already learned and put into practice.

Values centered - Human values, the positive qualities of good character found in all cultures across time, are the energizing ingredients for the what, why and how of innovation — and the foundation of all of our programs.

Relentlessly researching and innovating - We’re actively advancing the field of innovation with the latest thought in Innovation Enablement paradigms while simultaneously innovating our own models to stay on the leading-edge.
