Innovation is often discussed and held by many to be the Holy Grail for business survival or growth. This masterclass serves to show how innovation is a fundamental business function that is not difficult to initiate, sustain and make a fundamental part of any operation.
A concise overview is given of how organisations operate in terms of delivery of a product or service. This is then related to sources of innovative behaviour and also how this behaviour can be stimulated for products, services and processes as well as for determining new opportunities. Innovation is connected with the core capabilities of any organisation, whether for-profit or not-for-profit. It shows how competitive advantage or relevance of the organisation can be maintained through innovation.
This masterclass addresses the leadership behaviour of Creativity and Innovation on our Leadership Competencies Framework.
Target Audience

Associate Professor Piet Beukman, FIPENZ, AFNZIM, has 35 years international experience in the field of engineering, technology management and commercialisation of technology, as well as training at university and industry level. He is highly regarded in New Zealand and internationally as a practitioner with a sound track record of achievement who uses a practical, but rigorous, approach.
Piet’s experiences are many and varied and include being the Chief Engineer of an airline, Systems Development Advisor to the South African Air Force, 20 years working in the South African defence, marine consulting engineering and aerospace industries, and Director of Technology Commercialisation at the University of South Australia. He was instrumental in the establishment of the Canterbury Innovation Incubator and Christchurch's Recovered Materials Foundation, taking the project from concept to being its founding CEO.
Piet is currently Director of the Master of Engineering Management programme and a former director of the Master of Business Administration (MBA) at the University of Canterbury. Piet mentors CEOs, consults with businesses and he also delivers training workshops.
He has presented numerous short courses and custom in-house workshops for local and international organisations including technology companies, district and city councils, electricity companies, infrastructure companies, government departments, and sports organisations.
Piet has developed a unique training style that combines underlying theory, practical examples and case studies into an integrated programme. He believes that learning should take place in a relaxed and friendly environment and that underlying principles should be taught first, before specifics, applications or tools are addressed. Participants therefore gain a thinking framework that can be readily remembered and applied over a wide spectrum in the workplace.
