Good To Great Schools
Our Innovation Approach
Our innovation model is very special to our work
and forms an integral part of our organisational
strategy.
It enables us to continue to offer products and
services that are attractive and beneficial to
our customers students, their families,
teachers, schools, systems, governments and
supporters. There are three important elements to
our innovation model
2
We Are Shifting Our Approach To Radical
Management
Radical management is a way of organising and
managing work so that it generates continuous
innovation, deep job satisfaction and customer
delight. It is suited to modern organisations
that operate in a world of rapid change and
competition. These individual elements are not
new, but doing all of them altogether as an
integrated approach is.
Project Management That Supports Innovation
Project management is hall mark of traditional
management. This is the way projects were
developed in the past. Project management is
still necessary in our innovation model to
support and serve co-design and radical
management, but it does not of itself produce
innovation. We use project management to get
sufficiently organised, but it cannot stifle the
creativity and freedom that innovation requires.
