Training meeting protocols are just like other meetings / corporate (assuming that's your goal) processes. You have to ensure that your preparatory work is there, documentation such as agenda, actual deliverable content and, the most important of all, your learning outcome document has to be concrete and delivered prior.
Furthermore, you need to ensure that you specify the length and width of your interaction with attendees, the subject matter at hand and feedback/evaluation.
For innovation based training, you might want to look into established qualitative methods out there. I suggest you might wish to elect to do a more interactive method of training, perhaps, one which requires participants to interact more. For innovation, you probably want to explore an older method/model and then apply something to it to demonstrate how a new approach results in substantial outcomes, I guess.
If you're training, whether for innovation or otherwise, I doubt you can do it anymore different - because, in the end you're training. So, really, how much more different can things get? You teach, impart information, there is some consolidation followed by testing and finally feedback...
I doubt you'd be in the position to assess/collect data anyways... if you had more details, I could make more suggestions. But tentatively, I think you could just get on with what you have in mind.
we cannot share the training meeting protocol, as this is an internal project document. However, we can share with you the deliverable of the project with the initially suggested set of methods to assess a specific type of innovation, which is social innovation: http://www.simra-h2020.eu/index.php/deliverables/
Deliverable 4.2; it's an open document produced by Secco et al.
Moreover, the SIMRA project foresees an online course for training about those methods.
Thanks, Elena. I was wondering if there was an innovation capacity framework you might have been using. In any case, 4.2 and 4.1 look interesting and I will be looking through them. I am planning a research project in management of forest commons with political equations loaded against the community.... This will also incorporate entrepreneurship development in the design mix. Thanks again.
