Course description
BeThinkAct™: The Emotionally Intelligent Innovation Process
The BeThinkAct™ innovation design process integrates emotional intelligence and good character values within a rigorous, open framework for being innovative, thinking innovatively, and acting innovatively in your daily work - which is the single most important driver of career and business success today. It uses your most natural strengths to be innovative while guiding you to practice the “art and discipline” of innovation from start to finish.
No matter what your job is, your innovative efforts share a common process, mapped with 4 stages and 8 tasks:
- Stage 1 (Stretch) and Stage 2 (Collaborate) represent the “inhale” aspect of the innovation process. As you engage in these 2 stages and 4 tasks, you’ll be defining your intentions and gaining new perspectives and knowledge to guide you in the next stages.
- Stage 3 (Co-Create) and Stage 4 (Actualize) represent the “exhale” aspect of the innovation process. As you engage in these 2 stages and 4 tasks, you will be focused on actualizing your goal as you generate ideas, decide, implement and celebrate your results.
This course includes a self-assessment and personal profile with insights about where you take initiative with each task in the BeThinkAct™ innovation design process. Team profiles are also available.
TheBeThinkAct™ design process provides a robust model you can apply to any work project, large or small, simple or complex, local or global. You can also use it across functions, cultures, and stakeholders inside and outside the organization… while achieving your performance accountabilities with a strong sense of personal fulfillment. It's an essential Talent Management methodology for conducting human centered design sessions.
Core Concepts:
- No matter what your job is, your innovative efforts share a common innovation process
- The BeThinkAct™ Innovation Process has four stages (Stretch, Collaborate, Co-Create and Actualize), each with two key tasks
- Tasks 1 to 4 are the “inhale” where you gather the raw material you need to innovate
- Tasks 5 to 8 are the “exhale” where you determine your creative course of action and make it happen
- Each task enables the art (people side) and discipline (technical side) of innovation
Benefits:

- Establish a healthy breathing rhythm that produces new knowledge and tangible results
- Share leadership during the innovation process, task by task, to keep people engaged from start to finish
