Schools need to innovate to survive in a competitive and constantly evolving industry. This paper provides a new, simple way of thinking for educational leaders and teachers, to increase confidence in innovation projects, enable them to empower innovation in their schools, better justify innovation proposals and persuade other teachers to participate. This case study shows how aspects of risk management and bow tie analysis can contribute to innovation activities. We show how the approach was applied successfully to the introduction of new classroom technology and collaborative learning in a secondary school.

This case study shows how aspects of risk management and bow tie analysis can contribute to innovation activities. We show how the approach was applied successfully to the introduction of new classroom technology and collaborative learning in a secondary school. The teacher uses six key questions, plus bow tie analysis, to structure and strengthen her innovation plan to make it more likely to succeed. This provides additional confidence to proceed, knowing that the innovation has been thought through carefully, advantages and disadvantages have been considered, and additional tasks have been included to improve the chance of success.
