About Ignition Global
"Innovation coaching has been my profession ever since the global team I was coordinating was stopped in a classic KODAK moment: the top boss said No!, three years later a start-up had turned our ideas into a big YES!! And was successful."
​
So, what determines the innovativeness of an organization? The R&D lab? The process automation software in a manufacturing site? The technology that is applied?
No, it’s people, not tech, who determine the organizational capacity to innovate. Progressing (many) ideas to a commercial success or to a valuable service that matters therefore becomes the leadership skills of today.
​
Global supports teams and leaders to become better innovators through building the mindset, toolset and skillset for innovation:
-
Leaders learn to act as enablers of innovativeness in teams and how to get rid of people-based barriers that make or break this team. Through the Ignition Global Program, they learn 1st to shift into Innovation Mindset and shape the right team environment. As 2nd goal, they get aware and learn how to reduce the impact of human-based barriers to innovation and 3rd build a bridge to core business for innovations to get integrated.
-
Teams learn the skills they need to have many ideas and collaborate through the ups and downs of an innovation project. They also build awareness of personal and team triggers to conflict, risking their willingness to co-create something new from scratch.

Challenge
If I don’t work with digital technology, who would? When I designed the online upskilling program, I learnt again how tech can help me focus on those activities that only I can do, while repetitive chores can be taken over by a machine.
​
The Ignition Global Program can now be run in larger teams and bigger organizations. The program is easily adjusted through customized content and industry specifics which satisfied my value for high quality and great customer journeys.

OBJECTIVE
Ignition Global supports teams and leaders to become better innovators through building the mindset, toolset and skillset for innovation:
Leaders learn to act as enablers of innovativeness in teams and how to get rid of people-based barriers that make or break this team. Through the Ignition Global Program, they learn 1st to shift into Innovation Mindset and shape the right team environment. As 2nd goal, they get aware and learn how to reduce the impact of human-based barriers to innovation and 3rd build a bridge to core business for innovations to get integrated.
Teams learn the skills they need to have many ideas and collaborate through the ups and downs of an innovation project. They also build awareness of personal and team triggers to conflict, risking their willingness to co-create something new from scratch.
The solution
Teams and leaders can learn within-a-timeframe they prefer and get focused before a coaching session through Co-Bot enabled reflections. This seems so important for team coaching sessions: the time is much better used when people are prepared.
Sessions and content can be added according to emerging team’ needs and leaders’ interest to learn.
​
Leaders follow which of their actions blocks or boosts innovation as data-driven (but de-personalized) evidence of team dynamics can easily be tracked and shared.

Why I like working with evoach
-
evoach combines two spheres: Rebecca and Anke are well trained coaches too and the digital savviness of them and their team made bouncing ideas and progressing them too great fun. Doubts or questions on tech or ethics were easily dealt with which allowed me to learn fast.
-
evoach wants you to succeed. Even when the going got tough, the sense of humor and comradery of the team helped bridge the troubles – the show must go on.
-
evoach offers a great service as we are entering the era of digitalized personnel development. GenZ talents and others want e-learning and personal growth tools online, so no coach can do without this today.
Would I work with evoach again? YES, sure, when the next opportunity is here!
