Training Toolkit on Innovation
A Training Toolkit on Innovation - Why is it important? Advisors as well as other professionals (e.g. leaders of operational groups in EIP) who are supporting innovators and innovations have usually a technical background and technical skills. This is important in order to get acceptance and a good contact and to give technical support. However, we saw in a lot of cases during the AgriSpin cross visits, that technical knowledge was not the bottleneck during the innovation process. Often the non-technical issues (e.g. relationship between key persons, creativity and energy in the team, network – contacts, planning skills, space and resources for trial and error, communication skills etc.) were crucial.
