Give people a chance to practice new behaviors. It’s how they get comfortable. Workshops are terrific for this kind of practice…especially when the workshops are experiential. It’s the hands on practice part that helps people confidently approach creative problem solving and master better communication skills.

• Explore organizational systems that align with future opportunities
• Give the senior leadership team an opportunity to choose projects with the most potential for small innovative trials.
