Episode description: Creativity in problem-solving and innovation in transforming these solutions into tangible results - simple concepts, yet often mistaken as one and the same, and riddled with roadblocks. Today, Lucy Gower, founder of Lucidity, helps to disentangle these concepts, while unearthing the hurdles that can hinder their implementation. From redefining innovation for your organisation, to confronting the fear of failure, we cover a wide spectrum of insight in this episode. Don't let fear and scarcity of resources stifle your creative spirit and hamper innovation. We candidly address these common hurdles, encouraging a shift in perspective towards embracing failures as stepping stones to success. Together with Lucy, we shed light on the necessity of a long-term vision in fundraising, bust myths about the digital shift during the pandemic, and uncover the silver lining that every challenge presents. Through this, we aim to inspire a fresh approach to problem-solving, ultimately driving your organisation towards innovative outcomes. Lucy talks about the importance of nurturing our people during stressful times and fostering an environment of psychological safety to stimulate effective innovation. Lucy shares practical strategies to foster such a culture, and we highlight some valuable resources to further explore this topic.

In this episode, I talk to Professor Julie Hodges of Durham University Business School about how school leaders can lead and sustain successful organisational change within their institutions. Professor Hodges is a worldwide expert on change in organisations, particularly in the role and impact that people play during transformations.I start by asking Professor Hodges for her definition of organisational change and about the different types of change, planned and emergent.We talk about how the global pandemic has driven emergent change within organisations and how some institutions have coped with change better than others. We discuss how the culture of an organisation has an impact on how quickly change can be accepted.I then ask Professor Hodges about challenges with engaging stakeholders, both staff members and individuals in the community, in change. We discuss her tips for encouraging people to become involved in the decision making process. These include giving people the space to voice their opinions, involving people at all levels of an organisation in discussions on change, giving stakeholders ownership of the changes and being transparent about the practicalities of the change.  Finally, we discuss creating trust within an organisation when implementing sustainable change, and Professor Hodges outlines the five principles of engagement: inclusivity, connectivity, transparency, equity and empathy. Spark! episodes of The Independent School Podcast are designed spark fresh insights and innovation, by introducing you to ideas from other sectors.Episode highlightsIntroducing Professor Julie Hodges (01:15)A definition of organisational change (06:04)Emergent change and why we're seeing more of it at the moment (08:00)Tips for engaging stakeholders (10:15)Creating trust through the five principles of engagement (20:30) References and resourcesEpisode 18: Spark!

In this episode, I explore how social marketing, the application of commercial marketing techniques to influence behaviours in ways which benefit communities of people, can give us a different perspective on our work in independent schools. Specifically, I outline how this might be applied to the area of alumni relations and fundraising within education.Based on the quantitative and qualitative research I undertook for my MBA, this episode explores fresh ideas that schools and universities can use to encourage alumni to become more involved.Firstly, I unpack the ‘transtheoretical model of behaviour change', taking three elements of this model to explore how they might shine new light on alumni relations activities. These three elements are the benefits (or pros) of the activity, the downsides (or cons) of being involved in the activity and, finally, the self-efficacy issues (for example, the confidence of the individual) of getting involved.To illustrate this, I explore the case study of the University of Exeter's 'Making the Exceptional Happen' campaign, where the volunteer programme reached 155% of their target number of volunteer hours.By considering this approach, I suggest that social marketing may have a significant impact in how you undertake your work in designing alumni relations and fundraising programmes and in how you might increase the number of pupils who volunteer.Spark! episodes of The Independent School Podcast are designed to spark fresh insights and innovation, by introducing you to ideas from other sectors.

In this episode, the first of season 2, I talk to Lucy Gower, the director and founder at Lucidity and founder of The Lucidity Network. Through her work as a coach, trainer and facilitator Lucy has given thousands of professionals worldwide the confidence and tools to think creatively, develop ideas and make their innovations happen. We discuss how independent schools can be innovative about their approach to the delivery of their education, their alumni relations and their fundraising. Firstly, we explore how to describe innovation in an organisation that isn't familiar with the term, and discuss the difference between incremental and radical innovation.We then talk about how innovation fits in to your school strategy and activities the school leader might employ to encourage themselves and their team to innovate more. We discuss how schools can overcome a perfectionist culture and become more comfortable with failure and risk and how schools can innovate on a tight budget. Finally Lucy gives us her tips for creating a culture of innovation in your organisation by focusing on leaders as role models, connecting people and getting everyone involved. Spark! episodes of The Independent School Podcast are designed to spark fresh insights and innovation, by introducing you to ideas from other sectors.Episode HighlightsIntroducing Lucy Gower (01:33)Describing innovation in schools (04:30)Getting the ball rolling with innovation (11:33)Overcoming a perfectionist culture (19:17)Working on a budget (26:07)Creating a culture of innovation (30:58)References and resourcesDiscover The Lucidity Network - get the environment, training, and support to craft the working life you want.'The Innovation Workout' by Lucy Gower‘Where good ideas come from: The seven patterns of innovation' by Steven JohnsonExplore all the Series 1 episodes at: www.consultjuliet.co.uk/podcastSign up to Juliet Corbett's newsletter at: www.consultjuliet.co.uk/signupFind out more about Juliet Corbett's work and discover a host of free resources at: www.consultjuliet.co.ukThank you so much for listening to The Independent School Podcast.

Colette and Lucy discuss the leap from the 9-to-5 to self-employment, accountability, the joy of not having a routine, and building empathy.
