The Innovation Agency Coaching Academy supports individuals and teams to coach, innovate, and improve.
We deliver a variety of learning experiences for individuals and teams aimed at building a healthy culture for spreading and adopting innovation. At a system level, the Coaching Academy programmes seek to shift mindsets, build capacity for transformation, and support implementation. We design and evaluate our programmes around a single competency framework, allowing participants to self-assess their skills and behaviours and design a bespoke learning plan aligned with individual development goals.
