Programme

26
08h00-10h00 Workshop 1
Nico de Klerk
Innovation Pilgrimage
A 'tool' to explore the human potential in a post-modern paradigm for the
individual/organisation/company . The Pilgrimage explores self-actualisation in a safe
environment for any individual frame of mind AND at the same time creates the space for
incorporating others, respecting their particular beliefs, cultures or spirituality.
AND THE BEST PART IT IS FUN with one common goal: Innovation!

Workshop 2
Jayshree Naidoo - Head of Innovation & Entrepreneurship, DBSA
Using networks to unlock innovation potential
How does one create effective smart partnerships, with public, private and academic
entities that enable collaboration for innovation delivery? How do you create networks of
value? Jayshree will discuss various case studies and share practical lessons from her
innovation journey at the DBSA

Workshop 3
Henra Mayer - Director, RIIS
Demonstrating innovation value
One of the largest challenges experienced - and one of the most frequent questions
asked in terms of managing innovation is how does the innovation manager/organisation
demonstrate the value of innovation?
This workshop will discuss methods and approaches that can be employed to assist with
the measurement of innovation activities and ultimately demonstrate innovation impact.
This useful insight can also aid innovation planning and focus future innovation
strategies.

Workshop 4
Itha Taljaard - CEO, Sense2Solve
Substantial innovation across an entire organisation
Typical results from common approaches to change efforts - less informed and ultimately
less effective change efforts; a few people try to convince many that change is needed; a
partial responsibility mindset; change occurs sequentially; the pace of change is too slow;
and the most common one - change is perceived as disruption to "real work"
This workshop will look at innovative ways to create real time strategic change - that is
real time innovation across the entire organisation.

10h00-11h00 Final exhibition hour coupled with an interesting brunch experience

11h00-13h00 Workshop 5
Nico de Klerk
Innovation Pilgrimage continue

Workshop 6

Creating and developing an innovation policy
In developing the Gauteng innovation strategy, Davis Cook experimented with a different
approach. This workshop will focus on the lessons learnt in the process, how to engage
with people to co-create policy and a strategy

Workshop 7
Andries Fourie - CEO of and Facilitator for AlRho Educational Solutions
Hire or Train Creative People?
Knowing how people processes information leads to an understanding of how people
approach and solve problems.
Whole brain thinking technology, together with knowledge of the Dimensions of Creativity
facilitates this understanding. Applying specific creativity and thinking tools, such as the
de Bono methodologies assist people in developing and leveraging the various qualities
of creativity and innovation, not just at an individual level, but also at a team and
organisational level.

Workshop 8
Salomon Erasmus - MD, BMGi
What customers really want
Customers buy products and services for one reason and one reason only. Figuring out
what this reason is and how customers go about assessing whether theyve made a good
purchase or not will allow you to see the next money making opportunities for your
business. Come and experience a hands on workshop on how to find the next sweet spot.
