These slides talk to how to be an effective leader and encourage innovation. These slides were presented as part of my keynote panel presentation at the Asian Conference on Education (ACE) 2018 in Tokyo, Japan.
The People Side of Innovation
These days, there is much talk about open innovation, business model innovation and innovation culture. These are important topics, but the most significant element to anything related to innovation will always be people.
It is people that make things happen and this is you, your colleagues, your customers and other external partners that you engage with to bring innovation to market.
It is not that long ago that a good innovator was considered to be a good engineer or R&D person. However, things have changed big time over the last 5-7 years as the open innovation and business model innovation movements continue to rise while companies have failed to upgrade their innovation capabilities during the financial crisis.
In this talk, Stefan Lindegaard will explain the consequences of these changes as he looks into the skills and mindset that are required to be a good innovator in this era of “modern innovation,” which is driven more by openness and business models than internal R&D and patents.
The topics include:
• 7 critical personal competencies for innovation success
• an overview of the types of people and functions you need for a strong innovation team
• insights on the key elements for corporate innovation training programs
• a view on why some people kill innovation – and how to deal with them
Leaders live in a time of unprecedented change and solutions aren’t always obvious. Volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity (VUCA) are lurking at every corner. To thrive in this complex world, leader’s need support in advancing their thinking capabilities. This session will provide practical frameworks and resources on how to develop VUCA skills in your leaders.

Building High Performance Team in Top ManagementHora Tjitra
Given the increasing globalization and international mergers & acquisitions, the number of international joint ventures (IJV) has been growing strongly in recent years. The success of such IJV depends very much on how successful the top management can communicate, interact and collaborate together as a high-performance team.
An important element here is the identification of the top management with the joint venture as well as their competence and sensitivity in dealing with cross-cultural differences.
Prof. Dr. Hora Tjitra will present recent studies and best practice examples from Asia (China) on the challenges and potentials in building high-performance teams in an IJV. Subsequently the culture-specific intercultural sensitivity will be discussed, highlighting examples from Germany, China and Indonesia.
In this report you will find preliminary data of some of the top highlight questions of the survey. This does not represent all the data, but a simple preview. The survey will remain open until the official end date of the survey in April 2016 as we prepare our data for key events and publications in May 2016 and onwards.

A GCL is a continual and agile learner who is able to step into new environments and empathize from multiple perspectives. A Global Citizens Leader (GCL) is someone who seeks to transform the world from a positive and collaborative mindset. A GCL acts as a representative of the global community—someone not confined by local paradigms –when developing solutions.

Leadership and Innovation in Higher Education Panel
1. ACE 2018 Leadership Panel Overview
Good leadership can make the difference between merely surviving and fully thriving in any setting. Educators in Japan and
around the world have been facing numerous changes over the past two decades, but for many this is the time to crumple or
break out. Long running trends are leading to both crises and opportunities; innovative leadership will separate the educational
institutions and programs that thrive from those that eke out survival or, perhaps, even fall.
This panel brings together leaders in creating new, innovative programs in higher education; who either find creative ways to
work within constraints or who move beyond those constraints to create something new. Peter McCagg and Kay Irie are
leaders in two Japanese universities, Akita International and Gakushuin, Kristin Palmer is leading new developments for the
University of Virginia in the United States, and Ljiljana Markovic is Dean of the Faculty of Philology and has helped forge many
international partnerships with various universities.
It may be argued that education can be too cautious and slow to change, thus leaving it vulnerable to economic and
demographic changes. Sometimes a lack of resources, fiscal and social capital, means that even a will to change cannot be put
into action. This means that we need to look to educators who are currently facing challenges that we are all likely to face as
the demographic pyramid, advances in ICT, and political trends common in the host country for this conference become
common throughout developed economies. Likewise, in Japan we should learn from efforts in and across developing countries
in making good use of ICT as another way forward.
No matter the challenge or opportunity, institutions must nurture developing leaders within and be open to them from
without. How exactly can we do this?
3. What doesn’t work?
•Knowing your way is the right way
•Working alone
•Not communicating
•Power plays
•Disrespect
•Throwing people under the bus
4. My challenges
•New leadership
•Speed of change
•Organizational resistance to change
•Supporting early adopters
•Decentralized systems
•Who reports to who
5. My opportunities
•Need for lifelong learning
•Tools that solve real problems
•Power of data
•My amazing faculty, staff and students
6. What does leadership mean to you?
•Communicating a vision
•Being a role model
•Challenging others and supporting them to be
successful
7. What is innovation?
Being willing to try new things which will
sometimes be amazing successes and other times
be dismal failures. Then learning and trying
again.
8. How does innovation link with value
and values?
You must trust your team to come up with ideas,
support your team to make those ideas a reality,
and then celebrate whether it’s a success or a
failure and do it all again over and over.
9. How do you cultivate innovation and
innovative thinking?
I am not sure. I am trying to do this by creating
safe places and processes for people to bring
ideas and then supporting their ideas and being a
champion for the process.
10. How do you cultivate leaders and
leadership in others?
Having an open office door, being a role model,
offering challenges, supporting your team, and
encouraging professional development and career
planning.
