What this training made me realize was that anyone can be creative and contribute valuable ideas but more importantly, it provided the skills necessary to develop ideas AND reinforced those skills through application assignments. I think the last part of that sentence was the most important part for me, I find that myself, like most people, learn most effectively when skills are used and applied. This process taught me that I could be creative and still execute and that I could directly influence others to do the same.”

About the event
Leading for Growth – Leadership Skills for Disruption, Business Continuity & Supply Chain Resiliency

In this blended live and digital program, you and your digital class cohort will learn: in-depth leadership principles, behaviors, and soft skills needed for leading, building and facilitating a growth-focused culture that will focus on execution through disruption.
WHY IT’S IMPORTANT
We’ve experienced many supply chain disruptions that required business continuity development and recovery plans. What each of these situations have in common, is not necessarily what happens around you or to you, but rather, how you will respond, recover and lead others through it.
In each of these scenarios, we’ve always found the collective mindset and most successful results when you do the exact opposite of what everyone else is doing to pull through it. You must learn how to innovate under stress AND execute well.
You must focus Supply Chain Resiliency and double down on your R&D and Innovation efforts. Once you double down to innovate and execute your way out, your teams and organization become stronger and more resilient as a result.
When we focus on these items, you can then recover from these disruptions.
So get ready!
You will need to innovate under stress to solve problems. You will need to mitigate supply chain disruptions for your organization, your customers and yes, even your suppliers.
Once you have a good understanding of your business continuity plan, and the various scenarios in play, you can create action plans that will help you strategically focus your cash reserves and execute like you never have before.
As a CEO, leadership executive, manager, or team leader, these skills will support your efforts to create priority, focus and clarity for those you lead.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
In this program, we pull from over 25 years of execution experience, sharing the methods tools and insights proven to work. You will learn foundational skills to develop an initial strategy, scenario options, and business continuity plans that you can use to get an immediate impact.
In this course you’ll learn advanced and in-depth methods on:
- Mindset Neuroscience, Grit and the Psychology of Individuals & Teams
- The 5 components of a compelling Strategy
- Understanding Starting with Why, Purpose, Method & End State
- Soft Skills, team dynamics, and the leadership behaviors needed to build the teams to facilitate and problem-solve solutions.
- Application and use of systems thinking applied to business disruption, scenario planning, and execution.
- Creating the psychologically safe environments and team mindsets for structured brainstorm/create sessions.
- How to build teams and lead collaboration with others, including your key suppliers.
- How to “amplify empathy” to build teams by understanding problems to solve and jobs to be done.
- Hard Skills, in tools, templates, and methods to support your organization’s business continuity supply chain resiliency efforts.
-
- Strategy Development
- Scenario Planning
- Business Continuity Planning
- Supply Chain Risk, Recovery, and Supplier Relationship Optimization
- This session includes access to digital pre-work released 1week prior to the program
- Upon completion of the program a Business Continuity and Supply Chain Resiliency Playbook to support your recovery efforts.

Leading for Growth – Leadership Skills for Disruption, Business Continuity & Supply Chain Resiliency (Live Digital Workshop)
As we all traverse the current public health and economic disruptions, The Innovation Garage® presents an extended education series to help support your organization on the road to recovery. Following up from our well received Energy into Uncertainty blog & and webinar series, this program provides key skills, behaviors, tools, and methods to put Energy into Uncertainty.
This session will be conducted live over 3 days, for two hours each day. In this blended digital program, you and your digital class cohort will learn: in-depth leadership principles, behaviors, and soft skills needed for leading, building and facilitating a growth-focused culture that will focus on execution through disruption.
WHY IT’S IMPORTANT
We’ve experienced many supply chain disruptions that required business continuity development and recovery plans. What each of these situations have in common, is not necessarily what happens around you or to you, but rather, how you will respond, recover and lead others through it.
In each of these scenarios, we’ve always found the collective mindset and most successful results when you do the exact opposite of what everyone else is doing to pull through it. You must learn how to innovate under stress AND execute well.
You must focus Supply Chain Resiliency and double down on your R&D and Innovation efforts. Once you double down to innovate and execute your way out, your teams and organization become stronger and more resilient as a result.
When we focus on these items, you can then recover from these disruptions.
So get ready!
You will need to innovate under stress to solve problems. You will need to mitigate supply chain disruptions for your organization, your customers and yes, even your suppliers.
Once you have a good understanding of your business continuity plan, and the various scenarios in play, you can create action plans that will help you strategically focus your cash reserves and execute like you never have before.
As a CEO, leadership executive, manager, or team leader, these skills will support your efforts to create priority, focus and clarity for those you lead.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
In this program, we pull from over 25 years of execution experience, sharing the methods tools and insights proven to work. You will learn foundational skills to develop an initial strategy, scenario options, and business continuity plans that you can use to get an immediate impact.
In this course you’ll learn advanced and in-depth methods on:
- Mindset Neuroscience, Grit and the Psychology of Individuals & Teams
- The 5 components of a compelling Strategy
- Understanding Starting with Why, Purpose, Method & End State
- Soft Skills, team dynamics, and the leadership behaviors needed to build the teams to facilitate and problem-solve solutions.
- Application and use of systems thinking applied to business disruption, scenario planning, and execution.
- Creating the psychologically safe environments and team mindsets for structured brainstorm/create sessions.
- How to build teams and lead collaboration with others, including your key suppliers.
