Your innovation is at risk because teams aren't equipped to operate under sustained uncertainty.
AI is accelerating tensions. And leaders feel the strain.
Build an innovative culture that doesn’t collapse under AI-driven change.
Enroll 5 teams where AI-driven change demands a new way of working
Intact or cross-functional teams of 4 to 15 people per team
Learn where each team's innovation is stalled
Assess
Five Paradoxes Assessment
Curious how your teams would score?
Target
Activate Targeted Growth
Next, the team leader meets with Gary Pisano’s team to interpret assessment results and identify the most constraining paradoxes. The team will then participate in 2 Teamraderie experiences that directly address the identified areas where a team should focus.
Measure
Measure progress after intervention to track improvement
The final step is perhaps the most critical. HR executives are constantly asked to prove the effectiveness of their initiatives to stakeholders.
Based on the 50+ companies that have already adopted this approach, the results tell a story that even the most skeptical cannot ignore.
Create immediate, measured improvement in how teams innovate and execute under uncertainty
Participate alongside CIOs and CHROs from peer companies:
F100 Insurance
F500 Tech
F250 Life Science
High-Value Pre-IPO Companies
The CIOs and CHROs will engage directly with faculty from the schools in a research-based program:
Dr. Anja Nabergoj, Stanford University
For CIOs:
- Why innovation efforts stall in execution
- How innovative culture becomes the highest-leverage performance unlock
- What it takes for teams to innovate beyond “bolting on change”
Dr. Paul Leonardi, University of California
For CHROs:
- Why culture programs fail to create real change
- How innovative culture drives behavior change instead of training completion
- What executive sponsorship makes possible in scaling culture change
Your teams interact with the same faculty to apply research-based techniques to their own work.
This program is:
- A team-level operating experiment
- Grounded in organizational and behavioral research
- Designed to change team behavior and innovation
This program is not:
- A creativity or ideation workshop
- A psychological safety program
- An innovation lab or hackathon
It's time to approach innovation differently. There are 5 paradoxes that govern innovative cultures.
Most teams over-index on one side of these tensions and the imbalance is subtle, until it becomes costly.
We approach innovation as a team operating model that's intentionally balanced, measured, adjusted, and reinforced.
Based on research by Gary Pisano
Let’s put this into practice.
The benefits.
We’ve shared the benefits for your teams, but here’s why this program also benefits you.
Exclusive events
Invites to in-depth research events with global thought leaders like Amy Edmondson, Gary Pisano, and more, where you’ll network, learn, and shape organizational culture together.
Access to private community
Join an exclusive community of leaders focused on building high-performance teams. Share ideas, solve challenges, and grow alongside like-minded peers.
What teams and their leaders have to say
“We got the opportunity to tap into our vulnerability and get another perspective on being and leading great teams to higher levels of success.”
“This was a great experience to learn about resiliency, and the role psychological safety plays in productivity. Super helpful!”
“That was so energizing—thank you! The tools shared were invaluable, and I’m excited to add them to my creative toolkit.”
