Tools for increasing personal agency inside innovation networks

The perception of agency underpins all innovation. Agency is the belief that what you are doing will create a positive change for yourself and for the people around you.

Yet in today’s world of innovation, it’s hard to see how our actions will result in positive change. The number of actors before us, with us, and after us in the creation and delivery of innovations has multiplied.

Many people working in innovation cannot see a way through the thicket, and projects slow and performance suffers. People need to feel that they have agency again and that their work matters.

There are techniques to increase personal agency inside innovation networks. This Master Class will lead participants through ways they can increase their power to move projects forward and their ability to make positive change.
