Elevating Talent and Advancing the Organization through the Innovation Council
The Arizona State University Foundation has successfully implemented the Innovation Council, an internal program that elevates talent within the organization as well as generates new strategies and initiatives that help advance the institution. In an increasingly complex environment, the Council has resulted in the development of a network of emerging leaders all connected by their experience, as well as various new strategic projects ranging from an online platform for donors to enhancements to the onboarding process. Participants will leave the session with an understanding of the key ingredients of the Innovation Council model, be able to explain the dual value of creating an internal “innovation team” that both develops emerging leaders and generates new ideas for the organization and understand elements of the “Design Thinking” process leveraged by the ASUF Innovation Council.
