245: Colleagueship for Co-Innovation: Leading and Managing with Purpose in the Workplace (15496)

This PDW will invite participants to role-play, in small groups (of six), various scenarios that will explore how effective management and leadership of organizations at various levels (macro, meta, and micro) of the firm use cross functional team collaboration to promote innovation, all with the end result of developing purposeful new solutions for sustainable growth of the firm. The second focus of the PDW will be to observe the subconscious behaviors of the participants as it pertains to the scenario outcomes. Following the role-play experience, participants will share in a “safe” discussion that allows them to formulate strategies that foster inclusiveness in the workplace. This experience supports the tough decisions participants have to grapple with as developing managers when dealing with complex policies and topics.Participants will be asked to perform an introspection of the experience that hopefully leads to their self-assessment of subconscious behaviors which drives decision making in their management roles.
