Leading innovation means navigating competing demands that rarely have straightforward solutions: delivering results today while building for tomorrow, balancing efficiency with experimentation, maintaining control while enabling autonomy, and embracing change without losing stability. Too often, leaders approach these tensions as either/or choices, prioritizing one at the expense of the other. This highly interactive course challenges conventional thinking and equips senior managers with practical tools to recognize, understand, and manage the persistent paradoxes of innovation and leadership. Drawing on research in paradox thinking, organizational ambidexterity, and innovation management, participants will work through real-world challenges, exchange experiences, and experiment with both/and approaches that move beyond simple compromises. Through hands-on exercises, peer learning, and practical experimentation, they will develop actionable strategies to navigate competing priorities, unlock new opportunities, and build organizations capable of performing today while adapting for tomorrow.
