What
are the ISmarts™ and LSmarts™
frameworks?
Vivékin Group's ISmarts™ and
LSmarts™ frameworks are based on the fundamental recognition
that innovation and leadership are natural human abilities that are
driven by human intelligence. They build on and extend recent theories
of multiple intelligences.
In the ISmarts™ framework, four
innovational abilities--Analytical, Communicative, Operational, and
Inventive--combine together in each individual (or each organization)
to constitute innovational capability. In the LSmarts™
framework, an additional ability is added: Ethical leadership ability.
Like the primary colors, these abilities come
together in an inexhaustible number of combinations. Since people have
different combinations of these abilities, they are innovative in
different ways.
Hence, Vivékin's motto: Bring
out all that is good in everything.
The exciting news is that Vivekin Group can measure
and determine the mix for each individual. We can also help your
organization channel these innovational capabilities.
For innovation, it is important to recognize the
type of innovational capacity for each person, and direct that person
into the kinds of innovation that are natural for that person. Knowing
and measuring these types is also useful to form innovation teams.
For leadership, two qualities are essential: 1) A
leader will have all the five abilities--Analytical, Communicative,
Operational, Inventive, and Ethical; 2) A leader is adept at using that
combination of abilities that is most appropriate for a given context.
Our exclusive on-your-site workshops will help you
discover, develop, and make full use of your leadership talents and
innovational capacities.
There is some even more exciting news for
innovation. With some modification, the same ISmarts™
framework can be applied to your project teams, your departments, your
divisions, and your entire organization. Working with your
organization in a program that is customized for you, Vivekin can help
you assess and assess innovational capabilities at the organizational
level. Thus, we can help you answer questions such as

ISmarts™?

your competitive environment, your strategic goals, etc.)?
