Building a More Innovative Problem Solving Workforce

Building a More Innovative Problem Solving Workforce

Problem-solving is the core of any workday within almost every role in a hospital, yet, preparation on how to be an innovative problem solver is not a shared focus. An innovation focus is typically prompted by inspiration or desperation, and can lead to intellectual, emotional and financial revenue. In healthcare, inspiration and desperation are encountered on a daily basis. So how does a hospital leverage these drivers to capture innovative approaches to day-to-day problems and to problems whose solutions can transform quality, safety and patient experiences?

This interactive two-day course teaches hospital executives and staff how to nurture a culture of creative problem-solving, where innovation can take root and grow.

What you’ll learn:

• How to develop a culture of permission to delight patients

• Innovative approaches to establishing innovation teams strengthened by innovative thinking

• Analytical tools to prioritize projects

• The multi-level benefits that come from innovative problem-solving for all stakeholders

• How to recruit and prepare innovative leaders across the organization

• How to make innovative problem-solving for exceptional experiences sustainable
  

Ongoing monthly check-in webinars are included with this course to ensure long-term success and sustainability.
