LEADERS PROGRAM KICK-OFF, PARTNERSHIP FOR INCLUSIVE INNOVATION (PIN)
April 24-25, 2024, Georgia Tech Enterprise Innovation Institute

The Partnership for Inclusive Innovation (the Partnership) is partnering with Atlanta-based innovation and impact accelerator, Orange Sparkle Ball (OSB), to implement project-centered Innovation Coaching as a core offering of their upcoming Leaders Program.   

The Partnership Leaders Program is a 6-month long engagement designed to provide participants with a soft onboarding to inclusive Tech-Based Economic Development and entrepreneurial ecosystem development. By working directly with small, mid-sized, and rural community-based teams to access educational resources and support, the Leaders Program facilitates local community collaboration and partnership, and regional inclusive innovation ecosystem development across the Southeast. 

As a part of the Partnership’s inclusive innovation programming, each team will receive project-centered Innovation Coaching from an OSB Innovation Coach throughout the Program. OSB’s project-centered Innovation Coaching guides participants through identifying an actionable entry point to a system-wide problem, and an iterative, value-driven approach to solution development. Understanding the highly context-specific nature of innovation, OSB Innovation Coaches meet teams where they are, encouraging forward progress toward sustainable and impactful change.
