We improve innovation in the workplace

Leading for Innovation

We partner with senior executives to help them understand, create and lead innovation within their organization. Each organization is unique in their needs and their hurdles. We begin our work with a deep dive to better understand the needs and the obstacles to innovation. This insight driven session is designed to uncover immediately actionable insights and identify a road map towards leading a more innovative organization.

Innovation Workshops

We co-create and facilitate immersive sessions for leadership, cross functional, and design teams to solve specific innovation challenges. Regardless of topic or team, our Switch Innovation Method is proven to spark ideas, action, and innovation.

We are dedicated to improving workplace innovation and helping organizations thrive in today’s fast-paced environment. Innovation isn’t just a process problem, it’s a people problem. Here is what we are seeing in the marketplace, and where we can lend innovation expertise:

Leaders Need Help

  • Managing versus doing
  • Keeping up with the speed of change
  • Leading in uncertain times
  • Supporting team weight and infusing inspiration and resilience

Employees Need Clarity

  • Defining roles and responsibilities
  • Being trusted and valued in their work with responsiblity for business outcomes
  • Knowing how they are doing and being recognized and appreciated
  • Understanding work life balance
  • Feeling included with a sense of belonging

Culture is More Complex

  • Building culture in a remote/hybrid environment is challenging
  • People want to understand their purpose and know how they are valued
  • Emotional intelligence has collectively declined since the pandemic
  • Communication is impacted by less interaction and fewer “water cooler” encounters

Innovation is Untapped

  • Collaboration is challenged by new hybrid work models
  • People do not feel safe to generate new ideas and take risks
  • Implementation is difficult without clarity around accountability
  • Value creation is diminished when innovation becomes the work of only a chosen few
Working with Switch was such a refreshing experience for the Gray CPA Inc team.  We entered as a team that had slowly begun to tunnel our own silos and were losing our cohesion and unity that our firm culture had been built on.  The workshops with Switch allowed our team to reignite our passions for why we do what we do, while learning new methods for innovative ideas and problem solving as a whole unit again.  This new environment helped the momentum shift to really realign our cultural values with our actions and propel us to clarity.  Switch’s ease of scheduling, care in our agenda setting, diligence in follow-up, and the creativity of collaboration in the outcome summaries for action has truly changed our firm.
