Agenda
"How might CAIS schools ensure their strength and permanence
through academic and business innovation?”
What is innovation?
“Innovation is the process of that realignment through creation and implementation of new ideas that bring value to your school community.”
We needed shared language
RequiresNEW
Business Innovation
Disruptive Architectural/StructuralDisruptive innovation requires a new business model but not necessarily a new academic breakthrough
Areas in which to innovate:Fee and Revenue Creation – pricing strategiesCost reduction - budgeting, cost sharingHuman Capital – # of teachers, structure, leverage (technology), pay scale, benefitsTime, Place, and Space – Efficiencies Partnerships and Sponsorships – Communications, Branding, Marketing – Increase of perceived value
Architectural innovation combines academic and business model innovations
Areas in which to innovate:Time & Space - Where and when we learnProfessional Growth - Learning about learningCurriculum & Programs - What we learnTechnology - Learning toolsStudent Learning Resources - Learning supportCommunity Partnerships - Who we learn withCost (cost sharing, salary, hiring)Revenue Creation: Efficiencies/Partnerships/Sponsorships

Innovation
Routine Radical
Routine innovation builds on a school’s existing academic model and programme and fits with its existing business model
Areas in which to innovate:Fee and Revenue Creation – pricing strategiesCost reduction - budgeting, cost sharingHuman Capital – # of teachers, structure, leverage (technology), pay scale, benefitsTime, Place, and Space – Efficiencies Partnerships and Sponsorships – Communications, Branding, Marketing – Increase of perceived value
Radical innovation is the polar opposite of disruptive innovation. The innovation relies upon a radical idea in the academic programme.

Design Thinking Leaders
Foundations for success
How Might We?
Step in the shoes of each stakeholder and view the challenge from their perspective.
Consider all possible solutions.
Share your prototype with another group and the facilitators for feedback. What new insights and ideas do they bring?
Draw and visualize your solution. Reference back to your Define and Empathize stages. Use the back of the sheet if you need more space to express your idea.
Roles: 1)Timekeeper2)Student lens3)Staff lens4) Parent Lens5) Other lens?
Clearly define the challenge taking all perspectives into account
