Passport to Innovation®  embeds innovation day-to-day. It is a program and approach for organizations who want new results and to develop their people at the same time.

PTI is for organizations with less than 300 employees, and who want to unleash their people’s creative potential and engage them in making a difference in their work, the organizations’ mission and influence their industry.

PTI is an action-learning program. It develops leaders. They

• Learn innovation processes
• Use creative thinking tools
• Create innovation-friendly environments
• Enable innovative products to result.

By the end of the program, participants know key interpersonal and process innovation checkpoints through which to create new futures for customers, the organization, teams, and products.

According to the American Society of Training and Development, 40% of learned skills transfer immediately.  Without reinforcement, only 25% of competencies learned in training remain after six months.  In other words, only 10% of learned skills remain if not reinforced. That’s one of the reasons PTI is structured the way it is.

In PTI training, people engage and

• learn to lead, facilitate, coach and manage innovation
• deliberately use creativity-thinking mechanisms to unleash possibilities
• crack open new thinking to create new futures

They learn

• proprietary tools and proven methods
• coaching language and practice
• facilitation secrets and tips
• inspirational communication styles to engender possibility
• interpersonal dynamics so they can expect and overcome innovation challenges and hurdles

At the end they

• know what it takes to make change happen
• anticipate roadblocks and plan around them
• use strategic foresight to project different futures
• belong to an innovation-minded community of colleagues who want new actions to take place
