THE FOCUS OF THE PROGRAMME IS TO CREATE MORE INNOVATION PROMOTING LEADERS, SO THAT EMPLOYEES SHOULD BOTH WANT TO INNOVATE AND BE ABLE TO.
This is the programme for leaders who want to become more innovation-promoting, take the next step as a modern leader and learn to develop creative employees in order to maximize business competitiveness & employee engagement. For those who want to discover more of themselves and their potential as a leader and bring out hidden creativity and strength.
During 3 months, the participants gets to learn more about creative employees and intrapreneurs – how they think and act and how leaders better can promote innovation for business goals while enabling their employees’ driving forces, creativity and self-leadership.
THE VALUE FOR THE LEADER
Today, ever higher demands are put on innovation management, and because of that it’s important that the business leaders have the knowledge and ability to understand themselves and their employees in that context.
Innovation is something different from what most managers are used to: high uncertainty, higher demands of trust, other KPI’s, being able to maximize creativity, take calculated risks instead of minimizing risk, understand psychology / motivation / innovative behaviors, allow mistakes / learning, etc. All of this, you will learn in the program.
The purpose of the programme is to create more innovation promoting leaders who can enable employees to both be able and willing to innovate. If the leader can do this, her team will create great attention and great results, both internally and externally – as well as becoming a role model.
Become the internal hero who takes the lead on innovation in your workplace – and who knows, maybe your team will be the one who creates the most innovation and the most value?

About the
course leader:
Your coach of the programme will be me, Charlotte Haegermark. I am an advisor and leadership coach in intrapreneurship, coach in self-leadership and author.
I work as an advisor to companies in innovation and business development, with a focus on employee-driven innovation (also called intrapreneurship). And partly I work as a coach for individuals and leaders / managers. Through these two areas, I get an overall foundation to stand on in order to be able to develop companies, teams and individuals.
I have worked as a leader at Saab for the new innovation unit I was involved in building, as well as development and coaching of the 12 individuals in the team. Therefore, I have good experience of what people need to be able to be motivated and be able to do a good job. I also have experience self-leading myself, going my own way and finding new paths. I have also received and been nominated for awards that confirm my ability to both lead myself and inspire others: Named ‘Top 5 most inspiring colleagues’ within Saab Group (2016), nominated for; ‘Forbes 30 under 30 list’ (2017) and to ‘Most innovative leader of the year 2020’ (Tidningen Chef) and ‘Future female leaders 2020’ (Ledarna).
