Home > HackLab: Big Innovation Starts with Thinking Small

2014 Talent Management Conference
Workplace Application: To fuel big innovation within your organization, this workshop will show you how to start by teaching employees at all levels how to hack their work for continuous improvements.
 

Innovation isn't about big changes. And it doesn't even require a big budget, a big title, or any permission. The changes that matter don't happen overnight, they are the result of a lot of small, meaningful changes over time. Applying insights from the computer hacking culture, we will help you start finding ways to innovate and make progress in your work, one small change at a time (hacks). This highly interactive session is designed to provide actionable insights and tools for immediate application. You will practice applying a hacking mindset to an actual aspect of your work (for example: team meetings, performance appraisals, preparing reports, etc.) and will come to understand change as a process rather than an event and see that large changes are the culmination of a series of meaningful small changes building upon one another.You will leave with an appreciation for some of the core tenets of hacking culture and how they can be applied to your work and your organization (specifically sharing, openness, decentralization, access to tools, world improvement).
