TASK
Calculate the potential resource for improvement and innovation in your college
An idea not coupled with action will never get any bigger than the brain cell it occupied. ~Arnold H. Glasgow
Creativity is thinking up new things. Innovation is doing new things."— American economist Theodore Levitt (1925-2006)
Piloting Project-managing

Turning creativity into
innovation
Working with groups of willing and creative practitioners to generate ideas for new courses and services, and for improving services and for cutting waste.
Helping practitioners to develop, refine and work up the more viable ideas into simple costed proposals
Creating a group of analytical people to appraise proposals and recommend those that need piloting
Creating a strong pilot plan that takes account of stakeholders, resources and risks; a plan that takes on measurment and focuses on small cycles of change
Ensuring that the pilot is well-run, often with coaching or mentoring for the project leader and has a senior champion to oversee it. Problem-managing when the plan no longer works.
