Build Trust First
Innovation needs Teamwork

A Prerequisite for Unlocking Innovation
We Succeed as Team Members, not Outside Experts
Innovation Vista’s unique methodology for all engagements relating to strategic change, transformation and transition starts with a key step: we BUILD TRUST FIRST ®. We believe not only that it leads to success; we believe it is absolutely required for projects like these to succeed! As with many things, the impact of trust may be seen more clearly by examining what happens when it’s absent. There is something deep in human nature which causes us to hold back, maybe in subconscious self-preservation, in these situations.
- Proposing a brand new solution to a problem
- Suggesting a change in strategy to react to market forces
- Clarifying roles when you feel there may be a crack through which things might fall
- Pointing out a flaw in a colleague’s work product which could impact the project
- Pointing out a flaw in the boss’s work product
- Delegating a wide spectrum of tasks across a team
- Planning a project or team budget
