HOW WE MAKE INNOVATION STICK

The “ORCHANGO way” is characterized by a dual focus:

1- Making sure our clients drive acceptance for current innovations;
while…
2- Multiplying the organization’s ability to deal with fast-paced, constant, overlapping and disruptive change.

Bottom line: innovation that sticks today and tomorrow

Bring an idea to life

By working on an actual innovation – especially if it is faced with internal resistance – we : 1) show everyone how to effectively make innovation stick; 2) demonstrate the value of adopting and applying ORCHANGO’s tools, techniques and mindsets; and 3) build confidence in the organization’s change & innovation potential.

Embed change leadership thinking throughout the innovation process

As IDEO’s Tim Brown and UofT’s Roger Martin recently explained on HBR, applying sound change leadership principles while innovating has become critical. Therefore, we embed in the innovation process the necessary tools, guiding principles & mindsets from ORCHANGO’s Change Management System™. Outcome: a process that makes innovation stick by design.

Train and guide the innovation teams

We enroll innovation teams in a special action-learning program. As they work throughout the innovation process – from idea to reality – the teams learn how to apply the ORCHANGO Method™ to make innovation stick.

Train leaders on making change & innovation stick

Change, which goes hand in hand with innovation, is a game of proximity. Distant leaders cannot play the game effectively – whether you measure distance in terms of geography or hierarchical levels. The “local leaders” are by far the best positioned to tackle the challenge. They represent the true keystone to make innovation stick throughout the organization.

Further build the organization’s change & innovation capability

We use ORCHANGO’s 4-Stage Capability Building Model to boost the organization’s change & innovation capacity and ingrain the necessary thinking into its corporate culture – so that making innovation stick becomes a core competency and simply “the way we do business around here”.

Measure & monitor progress; leverage the data to drive success

Data is everything. With our special CHECK UP!™ survey, we can assess and drive your organization’s change & innovation capability; monitor the levels of acceptance or resistance for specific innovations; and guide your overall efforts to make innovation stick.
