Dennis' Most Requested Programs:

The Game’s Changed (45-90 minute keynote)
Objective: Employee Engagement

This interactive keynote will get folks thinking differently about how they think, how they do their jobs, and how they relate to each other. They will gain new insights and leave energized to find new and better ways to boost your business and advance your mission. Innovation is no longer some nice enhancement to your business or organizational strategy; it’s a critical component. To be effective, it requires everyone’s involvement.

Building an Innovation Engine (2-4 hour workshop or expanded keynote)
Objective: Innovative Leadership Skills

Your leadership team is your most effective tool for promoting innovation…or for killing it. The climate your leaders set is the single most important factor in determining whether you have engaged employees and effective sustained innovation. This expanded keynote/workshop will give those with supervisory responsibilities the tools and insights needed to meet that crucial challenge.

Clockwise Leadership Retreats (1 or 2 days)
Objective: Leadership Team Building

Would your management team benefit from an intensive immersion experience to enhance their leadership skills? Dennis offers one and two day retreats to renew everyone’s commitment to innovation, while gaining powerful insights into how that can best be achieved. This longer format makes it possible to achieve the same outcomes as the “Building an Innovation Engine” workshops, while broadening and deepening the ability to implement what they’ve learned, and creating a more cohesive team.

Clockwise Leadership Cohorts
Objective: Culture Shift

When your objective is to achieve a shift in the overall culture of your organization or business unit, the approach needs to be equally ambitious. A single event, no matter how well designed and implemented is rarely sufficient. Even one lasting several days may not have a sustained impact without some follow-up. To address this need, Dennis offers a series of half-day leadership cohorts (2-4 hours) at intervals of two to three weeks. This provides an opportunity for participants to actively apply what they’ve learned, as part of a sustained intervention.

Clockwise Breakthroughs Methodology
Objective: Client determined

Are you confronting major strategic change in your business, or an imminent challenge you’re not sure how to meet? Are your existing tools and processes sometimes creating obstacles to innovation? Would you simply like to expand your innovation toolbox? We can help you break through those barriers and deliver truly breakthrough results.

An especially effective approach is to combine work surrounding a specific business challenge with one or more of the keynote, workshop or cohort offerings. Where a workshop or training approach may not be feasible, facilitation around a recognized business issue can provide an alternative opportunity to introduce these powerful concepts.
