PROGRAMME OBJECTIVES

The St John’s Innovation Leadership Programme provides a high-impact development experience, that will enable delegates to drive innovation through understanding and applying the science of innovation leadership.

The Programme provides an accelerated induction into the process and culture necessary for innovation in professional services firms. As sectors evolve amidst a dynamic, fast-changing landscape, the modules will support participants to apply innovation best practice from around the world, underpinned with the knowledge and confidence to succeed.

Outcomes will include an effective process and associated tools to use when innovating in professional service firms. Attendees will gain insight into the contemporary people development techniques that will foster a pro-innovation culture for professional firms, who are now facing much more change than previously. The Programme will take full account of the unique aspects of professional services firms, such as partnership structure, the professionals’ sense of identity and attitudes to risk.

Delivered by an experienced and professional team, brain science research and other contemporary techniques will be utilised throughout. This will provide participants and their organisations with a significant leadership advantage in a competitive world.

St Johns Innovation Centre has been at the heart of the world-leading Cambridge Phenomenon, which has changed the world in a wide range of sectors. Experts from the Centre will deliver modules in partnership with the experienced faculty of Spiranti, who bring exceptional practical experience from a wide range of professional services environments.
