A problem which exists in many businesses in the region, as well as the rest of Europe, is that many think that innovation is related to “fun” and “playtime”, like team-building workshops. What does it take to encourage creativity and innovation across an entire region?

When I ran the strategy consulting group at HP almost 20 years ago, my team worked remotely. We designed team-building processes that we ran using technology like teleconferences and screen sharing. The challenge is that many managers haven’t actually been trained on what’s needed to lead virtual or distributed work teams.

You don’t get this in job interviews anymore: how are you as a Team member? In my first interview, some twenty years ago, I spent way too much time describing the ‘me’ and the ‘we’, and how I was going to align with the team. Marketing was wearing suit and tie everyday, and teams were operating by consensus and under the tight control of one leader. Technology is now asking teams to work under pressure, fast and remotely. So, self-development fosters team success.

I've long believed in the concept of diversity and what a strong and diverse team can bring to an innovation program. Diversity is itself diverse When we talk about diversity we often fall into a trap, thinking that we can create diverse teams by ensuring there are people of different ethnicities on the team. Rarely does any innovation team take a truly holistic view toward solving a problem. Instead we settle for limited scope and homogeneous teams.

But, as is always the case, when new methodologies arrive, there are some lingering doubts: can serious games generate a tangible output beyond contributing to team building and having fun? There has been a great deal of talk lately about a trend that has been consolidating itself for some time in the USA: gamification. It involves generating games and entertainment out of processes and methodologies that weren’t originally that way. That is why they’re called serious games.

Businesses are made up of teams. It’s hard to encourage a group dynamic if your teams are spaced out around the office. It creates distance between members of the team, not to mention the fact it’s wildly unproductive. Here, you can bring teams together in a more confined space. Set team goals. To encourage a group dynamic, you should give your teams goals that they have to achieve. Each team has a specific weekly goal that they must attain.
