We believe that:

• Competence and continuous learning are mandatory commodities. Enterprises must be innovative and differentiate themselves from the competition in order to survive the intensity of the marketplace.
• All human beings create and innovate. They do so in very distinct ways, influenced by the workplace culture and climate they are immersed in.
• There are unintended consequences and barriers in each organization that impede change, discourage innovation, and limit success.
• Individuals, teams and the enterprise must identify barriers, learn and understand how to address them, and model the competencies necessary for future business success. Change doesn’t just happen because it’s wished – it takes work.
• There are many individual, group, and/or organizational interventions possible to increase the likelihood that change will succeed and that innovation will flourish. “One size” does not fit all.
• It’s important to transfer knowledge of the “how” and “why” of new competencies and practices so the individuals, teams and enterprise are better prepared to thrive in the future.
