Introduction
Welcome to Practice of Innovation A.

Businesses operate in a chaotic environment - one that demands doing things differently rather
than sticking to the status quo. Innovation is therefore of utmost importance for companies to
continue to survive and should infiltrate everything they do.

The goal of this module is to apply innovation within an organisational context. It will introduce
you to the current business environment and the subsequent need for innovation. It will then
move on to understanding how innovation gets integrated through an organisation, followed by
the role that culture and subsequently leadership plays, in making an organisation deliver
successfully on its innovation goals.

Learning Unit 2 The Innovative Organisation

Overview:

The first learning unit reminded you of why innovation is needed from a problem-solving
perspective, but more importantly, why it’s important in business. It is the only way to make
sure you stay successful in an ever-changing business environment. This learning unit will
take it one step further, by investigating the different aspects which should be considered in
managing innovation within an organisation.

Theme one will focus on the elements that enables, drives, or stand in the way of innovation.
Theme two will then delve into why innovation management is important within the context
of theme one, with theme three then unpacking how it can be done.

If you are a contact student, you will likely spend 14 sessions on this learning unit.
If you are a part-time student, you will likely spend 10 sessions on this learning unit.
If you are a distance student, you will likely spend three weeks on this learning unit.

Please work through all Themes on Learn, together with the relevant sections of your
prescribed source/s.

Ensure that you can critically discuss the integration of innovation within an organisation
with the help of an innovation management system before you move on to the next learning
unit.

Learning Unit 3 Innovative Organisation Culture

Overview:

One of the foundational elements which the whole Learning Unit 3 rests on, is having a
culture within the organisation that enables innovation. This learning unit will therefore
focus on unpacking the concept of culture from a business perspective.

If you are a contact student, you will likely spend 14 sessions on this learning unit.
If you are a part-time student, you will likely spend 10 sessions on this learning unit.
If you are a distance student, you will likely spend three weeks on this learning unit.

Please work through all Themes on Learn, together with the relevant sections of your
prescribed source/s.

You might find it challenging that the culture creation section, overlaps with the innovation
management system, even though different terminology is used. Ensure that you can make
the connection between innovation integration from a business perspective and its direct
impact on the culture of a company.

Learning Unit 4 The impact of leadership on innovation

Overview:

In this learning unit, we will focus on the impact that leadership can have on an
organisation’s culture. We will then examine why building connections amongst people is of
utmost importance, followed by the last theme which will focus on ways in which employee
engagement may be encouraged and/ or discouraged by leaders and managers in an
organisation.

If you are a contact student, you will likely spend 14 sessions on this learning unit.
If you are a part-time student, you will likely spend 10 sessions on this learning unit.
If you are a distance student, you will likely spend three weeks on this learning unit.

Please work through all Themes on Learn, together with the relevant sections of your
prescribed source/s.

You might find the integration between culture and leadership confusing at first, as it
overlaps, even though they again don’t use the same terminology. Ensure you can make the
connection between how innovation, culture and leadership integrate.
