Adaptability is the most important skill in business today -both for individuals and for organizations

“Adaptability reigns supreme as the cornerstone skill for success in today’s workplace.” – Aneesh Raman, LinkedIn Vice President

And yet according to the Business Agility Institute, 71% of organizations today have low business agility. 63% of CEOs say they can’t find adaptable talent (PWC), and a nearly equal number of employees agree they are not adaptable.

At the Innotivity Institute, we understand the challenges you face and our flagship program, the “Creative Breakthrough Makeover,” is designed to equip you with the skills, mindset, and tools needed to thrive in today’s competitive landscape.

Innotivity equips you to stay ahead of the game.

Adaptability, creativity, and innovation are truly one of being, thinking, and acting differently from our existing identity. To simplify this further, we call this skill “Innotivity.” Strengthening these inherent talents equips you to thrive.

Testimonials

This is what our clients have to say:

Animation Producer, Entrepreneur
Insightful, thought-provoking, challenging and shifting. I was caught up in paying bills and doing client work and raising money. THE INNOVATION EXPLOSION gave me a system and tools to get creative thinking re-energized. I left a powerful animation project behind for years because I thought it was too big, too expensive, and just kept putting other things ahead of it, even though it was a gift from the universe that had come to me effortlessly. All these years I was kicking a gift horse in the mouth. Through THE INNOVATION EXPLOSION, the project advanced incredibly. Now I have a clear plan and idea of how to progress, and I’m excited again. This is such a special offering!

Isabel Rorke

Animation Producer, Entrepreneur
Founder, The Mastery Hub
I was struggling with my business for weeks without finding a way to move forward. That’s when I decided to take Michael’s program. That decision was one of the best of my entire life. I walked out of the program with clear strategies and techniques to move my business forward while regaining confidence in my capabilities as an entrepreneur. Michael is a true master at his craft, and thanks to him I was able to navigate most of the challenges I was facing with my business. He used a combination of research covering field like neuroscience, positive psychology, NLP, diving deep into the power of creativity and how to unleash it. If you are a struggling entrepreneur, this can change it all!

Education Practitioner and Researcher
I really enjoyed the very clear tools in THE INNOVATION EXPLOSION and found them easy to integrate into my life right now, today. The depth of the course was outstanding, as was the flow of topics and watching people go through transformations quickly, in front of our own eyes. My aim was to get clarity on what kind of business I could set up, which I achieved.

The workshop has given me clarity and a great level of comfort at what I should be doing. Michael reads people well. He helps participants clarify what they are thinking. When he says it back to me, it’s even more recognizable and resonant than when I said it myself. We all come to earth with our sacred packages, and I think Michael is on the money with this one.

4IR Consultant, One of the 200 Young South Africans You Must Take to Lunch 2019
I joined this workshop because I was looking for change in my life, and I didn’t know where to start with the change. What I learned in the first session already was that the change would not come from external forces or “thinking out the box” but it was all about working with what was within me. I would encourage anyone looking to tap into the best version of themselves to take this course.

Decluttered my problem situation from the cloud of emotions to help me see tangible facts, and approach it with a clear view of actions I can take to get the results I am looking for. This included questions he asked me that lead to introspection to change my disposition. Such that I could see an alternative route to my desired end. Thank you Michael, you helped me see things clearly, and showing me I always have choices, and there’s actions I can take to change things.

Director, Color Me Africa
THE INNOVATION EXPLOSION is invigorating and enlightening. I felt safe to explore and be authentic. Where I was stopped in the past, I now can create. My biggest surprise was that I set out in the workshop to work on my business plan for my arts NGO, and ended up also starting to write my book that I had put off for years. Now I find myself blowing all barriers and moving full speed. I can now accomplish much bigger dreams. Which is why we have chosen to join as an affiliate!

This program brought together concepts from psychology, neuroscience and self-awareness in a way that makes it profoundly clear how our creative brain works, how it gets stuck and how we can help it. It’s given a big step in becoming a mechanic of my own mind. Creativity is no longer an aloof concept, removed from self , but now accessible through a well-defined process.
