The Innovation and Change Workbook

By Dr. Paul G. Levenworth

The Innovation and Change Workbook was written by Dr. Paul G. Leavenworth for the purpose of providing information and application for understanding the dynamics of effective long-term innovation and change using the IDEA methodology of discovery learning. IDEA Method of Discovery Learning : This workbook is formatted using the IDEA approach to discovery learning. Jerome Bruner, The Process of Education , states that, "Mastery of the fundamental ideas of a field involves not only the grasping of the general principles, but also the development of an attitude towards learning and inquiry, toward guessing and hunches, towards the possibility of solving one's own problems... an important ingredient is a sense of excitement about discovery... it is possible to present the fundamental structure of a discipline in such a way as to preserve some of the exciting sequences that lead a student to discover for himself... The trick is to find the medium questions that can be answered and that take you somewhere." (p. 20, 40) In order to facilitate discovery learning, each chapter begins with an Introduction (I) followed by Discovery (D) , Explanation (E) , and Application (A) sections. * Introduction (I) - Overview of the chapter and introduction of basic content and concepts related to the chapter topic * Discovery (D) - study and discussion questions to help you better understand the content presented in the Introduction * Explanation (E) - Specific information related to the chapter topic that aids discovery for application * Application (A) - questions to help discern and develop solutions from the content and concepts for effective problem solving Through this process of discovery learning, one can better understand the complexities of organizational dynamics and change in creative and innovative ways that make a way forward toward a "preferred future." The Innovation and Change Workbook will allow you the opportunity to be exposed to concepts, theories, and processes that will help empower you to lead effective innovative change in your sphere(s) of influence.
