Innovativenavigation

The global working environment is diverse, dynamic, energetic, and innovative; navigation competency requires interdisciplinary knowledge to understand the world insightfully, orchestrate business innovation with amplified impact.

In a world that has been transformed by technology, the enterprise platforms blur the functional, business, and even industrial territories, and makes it more convenient to run the business as a holistic organization, instead of the sum of the pieces. Navigation is actually the synthetic competency integrated by a couple of important capabilities such as strategic reasoning, forecasting, encompassing, guiding, steering the organization in the right direction.

Navigate across geographical boundaries, knowledge domains, functional boundaries, geographical territories, or vertical industries: Corporations are facing daunting tasks of navigating the business context with largely uncharted territories. On the navigation dimension, effective navigators have more antennae focused on the trends and what’s going on in the business and the world. They can ride the learning curve ahead of the rest of the organization.

An interdisciplinary lens allows the organization to navigate through changes, explore fresh ideas in all directions, build business intelligence, and amplify change effects. Insightful navigation leaders facilitate open dialogues with customers, business partners to co-shape great ideas, and overcome common challenges, improve organizational agility and innovation fluency.

Innovation navigation involves tapping the organizational ecosystem: Innovation today is complex, an interdisciplinary lens allows the organization to explore fresh ideas in all directions and experiment with innovation courageously. There are many components in an effective innovation environment; an insightful innovation navigator is able to bring up the outside-in view for understanding things holistically, gaining collective perspectives on business changes, and navigating people-centric business transformation.

You need to understand how people encounter, observe, or undergo their stage of experience, and then, come up with innovative ideas to delight them. Forethoughtful organizations build a powerful innovation navigation system that involves tapping the organization's ecosystem for collective perspectives, knitting all critical business elements such as people, processes, and technology into transcendent innovation competency.

Navigation focuses on “where should you change,” so you can align resources, people, process, culture seamlessly: At the core of business management is a customized business simulation which lets participants experience comprehensive business problems and opportunities associated with creating and implementing ideas. Cross-boundary expertise or experiences are great to improve navigation abilities in a more volatile, uncertain, ambiguous, hyper-connected and globally distributed world.

In order to navigate to the right spot for changes, you need navigation skills to become a directional guide for business transformation. The variety of perspectives opens our minds, bridges a variety of differences, harnesses the values that each of us can bring to the table, unify the diverse perspective into a unified vision for driving desired change steadfastly.

The global working environment is diverse, dynamic, energetic, and innovative; navigation competency requires interdisciplinary knowledge to understand the world insightfully, orchestrate business innovation with amplified impact. So organizations are able to overcome silo or overly rigid polarity, iterating and empowered to enforce its transcendent purpose by intelligent organizational design and expanding both horizontally and vertically, across all business dimensions.
