The word innovation is everywhere it seems, but true innovation is rare. It’s difficult to change our ways of working and thinking—as organizations, as people. So how do you do it?

At Orange Sparkle Ball, we believe that innovation is about learning to negotiate with uncertainty and try new things. It’s a process and a mindset all rolled into one.

We know anyone can be an innovator and we’re committed to making innovation equitable. Now more than ever, we need folks to engage and take action. Our Immersive Innovation Labs gather participants who have real challenges to solve and facilitate applied learning by taking them through a structured problem-solving process. Participants leave the immersive experience with a pilot design and a pitch deck to gain acceptance to run their pilots. Possibly more importantly, they leave the immersive experience with an innovation skillset and a cohort of innovation peers.

HOW DO IMMERSIVE INNOVATION LABS WORK?

Immersive Innovation is made up of 3 components:

1. Learning Content

   We’ve built a platform on Skool that holds all the content for each of the six steps of the process. They are offered in both written and video form, in English and Spanish. The accompanying toolkit allows participants to actively work through different aspects from stakeholder mapping, to concept development, to pilot planning all at their own pace.

2. Coaching

   Sometimes you need support in this process – it’s not always easy! That’s why we incorporate the OSB project-centric coaching methodology into this. We offer sessions to align teams, work through tough spots, and develop ideas through collaboration.

3. Evaluation

   To ensure that this process continues to improve and evolve, we have crafted an evaluation process to see how individuals, projects, and cohorts learn and grow.
