An Innovation or Game-Changing team is a team of entrepreneurial employees appointed to improve organizational competitiveness by executing organizational transformation strategies.
Researchers have identified four characteristics of an effective Innovation or Game-Changing team – Flexibility, Openness to experience, Focus on results linked to strategy, and Effective communication and listening skills. The core skills of the Design Thinking method are Creativity, Diversity Thinking, Co-Creation, and empathy, which meet the characteristics of effective change agents.
