Implementing Organic Growth Strategies at the Kellogg School
After running a very successful initial session in February, the Kellogg School decided to expand the program, scheduling one in January and December 2009. Although the web site has not been updated yet,
http://execed.kellogg.northwestern.edu/programs/LEAD20/index.htm
the following excerpt highlights the program:
Your business had a great growth strategy but it never got to market. Why? Implementing Organic Growth Strategies deals explicitly with the challenges and issues confronting any business trying to implement new business designs. Participants will be exposed to powerful, market tested implementation tools and methodologies that can be deployed immediately. The tools and methodologies presented in this program are based on a variety of world class growth practices and academic research that were tested and optimized over a 10 year period in real business situations. Therefore we know what the pitfalls are and we will show you how to overcome them.
The participants for this program should be any employee who is managing growth initiatives. We also strongly encourage teams attend to enhance the experience.
You can apply for the class at:

This site also defines the relationship between this class and our original Driving Organic Top Line Growth Strategies.
Organic Growth Program Series
The Kellogg School's two organic growth offerings - Driving Organic Top-Line Growth and Implementing Organic Growth Strategies - are built off the same methodologies and designed to be synergistic with but independent of each other. It does not matter in which order they are taken to gain the full benefit. When taken within 12 months of each other you are entitled to a 20% discount on the second program you attend. Our special registration code must be provided at the time of registration for the second program.
The next Driving Organic Growth Strategies will be given on December 1 to 4, 2008 at the Miami campus: http://www.kellogg.northwestern.edu/execed/programs/LEAD17/index.htm
Bob Cooper, Academic Director and Senior Fellow at the Kellogg School of Management, will share his insights into the challenges associated with business growth and innovation to create and stimulate a community of interested participants. This is the backbone of my exec. ed. class on Driving Organic Growth through Innovation: http://www.kellogg.northwestern.edu/execed/Programs/ORGGROW.aspx

Underpinning of Driving Organic Growth Blog
by Robert Cooper
After much investigation I found four critical components of a successful corporate innovation effort and have tagged the posts in this blog appropriately.
The Critical Role of Leadership
Leadership must frame the overall innovation effort; make the critical resource decisions in a transparent fashion; clear any obstacles that would impede momentum; legitimize the initiatives within the corporation; and, play a major role in setting the climate for innovation.
The Importance of an enabling Corporate Climate
Corporate Climate deals with the: cultural barriers to growth through innovation; the skills required; the incentive systems to create the right behavior; the managing systems and attitude. We have found that managing business risk is an absolutely critical component to a successful, sustainable innovation effort.
Sources of Ideas
Ideas are of course the basis for innovation. Where they come from is changing dramatically. We will discuss this thoroughly going forward. However, you will fall way short if all you do is generate ideas.
The Importance of Process
Process is the final component to a successful innovation effort and we will share what different companies have tried. Within this group there are sub-groups of Managing Uncertainty, Being Ambidextrous and Creating Competitive Separation.
