Corporate innovation teams face a difficult task. The journey to achieving a successful innovation, like exploring new business models or value propositions, is full of setbacks and failures. The uncertainty of innovation projects within an execution-focused organization with little innovation culture can lead to high-levels of anxiety and unproductive conflict. Teams operating in these conditions work hard, but don’t always get the results they hoped for.

As a leader, it’s your job to create the conditions for innovation team success: (1) constantly align the team to efficiently innovate, (2) build the psychological safety required to foster experimentation, learning behaviors, and constructive conflict.

In this month’s StratChat, the authors of the book High Impact Tools for Teams (Stefano Mastrogiacomo and Alex Osterwalder) will share how to reach higher levels of team alignment and psychological safety in innovation teams.

They’ll show you how to successfully kick off your innovation projects using the Team Alignment Map and the Team Contract. You’ll also learn how to assess alignment rapidly to avoid future problems. And, you’ll have some fun exploring what’s hot or not in teamwork today.
