Business Innovators
Business leaders with a strong sense of responsibility and drive to succeed in their roles often want to create change in their organizations–whether this gets played out as overcoming challenges or implementing new ideas. This level of desire for innovation is undeniable. Although they may or may not call themselves “intrapreneurs,” their ability to start things up internally and bootstrap (even within their global Fortune 500 subsidiary or billion-dollar startup) is essential to their nature, sense of accomplishment, and overall career success.
Managers and Directors
Business innovators I work with at the manager or director level have execution challenges. They want to get more done. Sometimes they are trying to meet expectations of their roles and feeling the weight of that. And knowing who to turn to–in all of this–is a complex decision that can get put off.
Common scenarios are:
“I’ve got this great idea but . . .”
You have a half-baked idea (or a list of them!) and lack the bandwidth, creative energy, or perspective to finalize and execute on them. So they stay in the back of your mind, gnawing at you. If you had a team at your disposal or at least a great brainstorming partner, you’re sure you could get it off the ground and make a huge difference.
“My team isn't executing fast enough . . .”
You have a big idea or vision and have communicated that out but it's taking too long. You may or may not know why exactly. What you do know is something has to change. You do care about your people and don't want to burn them out. You also want to be able to complete the strategic initiatives that are near and dear to your heart. You can have it all with a Creative Partnering™ Engagement and, if you're a channel leader, you can also get more done with a specialized agency, TDZ Creative Partners, as an extension of your team.
“I’ve been handed this project and . . .”
You’ve been given a project to manage and aren’t sure where to begin. Just thinking through it hurts your brain. There’s never enough time to make true progress because it’s just so new and you’re juggling competing priorities. If you’re really being honest with yourself too, you might be procrastinating because you don’t have immediate answers and solutions. But they’re just not coming. Maybe you’re burying yourself in the day to day. You know ultimately that’s not sustainable. So, how will you do it all?
You need a creative partner–someone to unpack that project WITH you. Then map out what needs to be done. In all instances, both creativity and analysis are required. Followed up with a healthy dose of get it done.
