TopDog Programme 2010

What is TopDog?

?What If! has been running the TopDog Programme for 10 years. It's executive education with a difference!

We believe the best way to learn is with your sleeves rolled up so the TopDog Programme takes business leaders on a three month journey of stimulus, peer discussion & debate.

This year's Programme includes an innovation audit for you and your business, one place on the TopDog Tour, one place for a colleague or direct report on a one-day Tour Highlights Workshop plus follow-up mentoring with an innovation practitioner to develop your own plan around innovation culture.

The TopDog Tour is the central element of the Programme. In 2010 we'll be spending a week behind-the-scenes at some of the UK's most admired and innovative organizations, where delegates will meet real leaders with real stories and listen, question, probe, debate and learn.

We'll focus on the intrinsic link between the culture of an organisation and its ability to innovate, and provide delegates with the stimulus and insights to evolve their businesses. For example, how ROK's high ambition, low ego approach led to a revolution in the building trade. And how innocent's combination of a clear guiding purpose with a fresh approach to values drives high staff engagement and a constant stream of invention.

The composition of the delegate group provides a rich diversity of insights, perspectives and experiences. Typically 23% CEO or SVP and 63% Divisional Head, VP or Director, a group will comprise a dozen or more companies and industry sectors. The Programme is facilitated by senior innovation practitioners from ?What If!
