INTRODUCTION
Corporate Innovation and entrepreneurship design for helping problem-solving design and
creative thinking skills which have the ability to import trends and recognize different
opportunity to capitalize a high potential ideas. This is the one which started running new
venture or small business. This is the one which focuses on opportunity within consulting
industry for new product development and innovation in an existing company. This report
focuses on research compilation collection and critical analysis along with creation of reflection
on patches which is able to stritch together by common theme.
This also includes driven innovation for holistic and integrated solution (Muninger,
Hammediand Mahr, 2019). In this report, there is discussion about need for research
identification and collection of series of patches on corporate entrepreneurship. This can relate
with internal and external or crisis situation which can provide intrapreneurial responses. There
is also discussion about consider the patch is which can provide the integrated and holistic
response for supporting quality theories models and framework. This report also consists of
critical analysis and evaluation for patches (Schaltegger, 2018).
MAIN BODY
Part 1
For better and effective regulation of the school, there is a need to use necessity of
leadership and following culture which can lead to provide better ability for running the school
in effective way. This can provide better outcome as a result. Could do better school is a non fee
paying school in which there are 11 to 18 aged group students in school. This is a school in
which there are many student and different teacher. Teachers are able to provide specific lesson
and specialist in their topic. They are the one who are able to provide better and effective
learning to students but due to many scrutiny and compiling of paperwork which lead to create a
high difficulty for providing better lesson to the student. This is the one reason which directly
impact the quality of delivering lesson to student by their specific teacher. This lead to create a
negative impact on study and result of this school is below than average. Due to this, there is
different scrutiny time-to-time and lead to complete different paper work by the teacher instead
of delivering lesson and providing education to students. It has been analyzed that, this school
has autocratic leadership style in which senior teachers are able to provide information and

guidance to specialist teacher who are specialist in their specific topic (Platzek, 2020). By using
of autocratic leadership style, they are not permitting teacher to deliver lesson through their own
way for providing lesson to their student. This create demoralization and not able to deliver
specific information and lesson to the student. Due to assigning of new headteacher and Deputy
Head teacher who is able to manage all the staff member and teachers for assigning their task
and creating a curriculum style which can focus on delivering operation to the student. This
created dissatisfaction within teachers and they are not getting liberty for providing a lesson to
their student in their own way. Due to less payment and there are no hiring of other teachers or
staff member. Recruited teacher are also looking for higher payment opportunity and looking for
external opportunity. This is the one which is creating a difficulty and dissatisfaction to the
teachers among school. This created a negative impact on delivering of lesson to the student and
due to high focusing on scrutiny which increases the number of paperwork and able to divert
from delivering of lessons in making workforce. It has been identified that there is need for
motivation and need for changing the leadership style. This can provide them the liberty to
deliver their lesson to student in their own way (Halkos and et. al., 2018). This should be
effective and experimental for providing better result as an outcome. There is a culture which is
related with this school that all the teacher should able to provide a specific topic to their student
which can lead to create a better impact on delivering of standard education.
Due to Autocratic leadership style, teacher are not able to provide better level of lesson to
their student. Increase in paperwork also impact on preparation of lesson for delivering to their
students. It has been also analyzed that, there is change process in delivering of education to the
students which is due to impact of COVID, there is Impact on global environment and lead to
create online class for students. This also create negative impact on some student who are not
accessible for technology and not able to get the classes. This directly impact on their social
development and not able to get engaged and online learning and due to home environment
students are not accessible for better learning and getting education.
Whereas, some of the students are able to get better access to the technology and enjoy
the greater use of technology for their learning. This make them useful and motivating. Due to
higher use of technology also lead to create harder for engaging and more proactive in their
learning (Wang, 2019). This create better innovation on delivering of lesson to the student. This
provide the opportunity to teachers for delivering of lesson on their own way. This lead to create

new way of teaching and learning within curriculum. This process has higher ability to provide
better learning to their student and better delivery of lesson with better outcome.
This is a crisis situation for the school which need to provide batter innovation and
entrepreneurship skill which can lead to better impact on delivery of education to students in a
school. There is a crisis driven innovation which could have high impact on delivering of better
management and leadership style which can have the ability to provide better opportunity for
resolving the issues. There in leadership style and different functions. Innovation have the ability
to provide better strategy and change in leadership style which can lead to create a better impact
on solution. Leadership, cultural and change process are the patches which have high impact
over the situation and lead to create a better internal and external entrepreneurial responses. It
can impact over change in the leadership and culture which could relate to create better impact
over delivering of lesson to children for better outcome as a result.
Within a school, it is a crisis situation which is not able to deliver listen to the every student in
effective manner. Due to completing the paperwork is one of the critical situation which divert
teachers for delivering lesson to their student in effective way (Anjum and et. al., 2019). There is
high need to provide better strategy which can directly impact the internal environment of the
school which is by changing leadership style and culture which can impact over education
delivery. This can lead to improve the work culture which can help student to get better access to
education. There is also need to change in external environment of the school which is by
providing better opportunity to teacher to get better learning. There is need for better and time-
to-time teacher training. There is also need for appraisal of a staff member which is one of the
highly need for external environment changing (Wales, 2021).
Part 2
The best way in which to stitch together the patches of the present an integrated and holistic
response to the crisis in question
One of the patches for could do better school is requirement of proper leadership and cultural
impact in order to deal with the situation of changing needs of students and external
environment.

Situational analysis: The overall situation in the school is related to requiring improvement that
is main reason for external monitoring paperwork and scrutiny. Generally the students are
entering without any proper background and achievements are also below the national average
for a 16 to 18 year old student. There are cultural issues that are faced by the students that are
some of the students have suspended curriculum activities as focus on particular subject. There is
no level of proper behaviour in teaching of lessons.
Leadership issues: The senior leadership team includes the deputy head teachers and head
teacher supported by head of subject. There is high amount of inconsistency in the process of
delivery of lessons as previous head teachers have introduced a specific framework that was not
repeatedly followed in future. There are issues as staff does not feel valued and trusted. The
senior leadership team also feels difficulty in external scrutiny and there are lot of reports to
complete planning of lessons, monitoring staff and mark books.
To deal with this situation there is requirement of a proper systematic review process in order to
ensure a process of collecting and stitching together of the whole patch work that engages and
deals with the crisis driven situation.
Leadership model: There are various leadership models that can be used in order to deal with
the situation of changes required in the overall leadership process in could do better school. For
this purpose there will be need of some of specific rules and aspect to develop of proper
entrepreneur structure with the appropriate culture support in order to ensure continuous
improvement process.
Transformation leadership: In the present situation there is autocratic style of leadership that
is adopted by senior leadership team that includes head teacher and the deputy head teachers who
are further supported by heads of subject. All the decisions are made by the department without
any consideration of points for other subordinates who were actually involved in the process of
functioning. It leads to just making up of laws, regulations and changes that are communicated in
the overall different levels (Geissdoerfer, Vladimirova,. and Evans, 2018). This is one of the
major reasons of no proper coordination between the formation and implementation of various
strategies. The solution in form of using transformational leadership that seeks to change the
groups or business by inspiring their employees to work towards innovation. In the present
situation the teaching staff is required to develop online learning process and digital skills to
adapt themselves as per covid-19 pandemic situation. There is also a requirement to embrace

new ways of learning and teaching in the curriculum. This change can be successfully adopted
by having transformational leaders that can work towards inspiring and empowering of
employees to have things upgraded and streamlined as per requirements.
Pros: Leaders in school will be able to establish a high level of trust with all the teachers and
working staff to share their vision and end goal. When the teachers will possess greater
autonomy they will develop a culture of supporting the senior management in the continuous
improvement and delivering of required quality performance.
Innovation model: There is requirement of innovation in organisations is to have a conceptual
framework that come from out the innovation.
Incremental innovation: In could do better school there can be implementation of incremental
innovation that is based on enhancing the present value of product by creating a better version
than the previous one. The main aim of this type of innovation is to improve the efficiency while
retaining the present core features. It focuses on improving the present experiences of the
customer and the way it can help them in development of loopholes that are part of the school.
(Source: Innovation Models | Innovation Process Models, 2020)
For this reason there will be focus on newly appointed head teacher who can work towards
development of a culture supportive environment. There is requirement of better Innovation and
creativity by analysing the diagnostic survey of work environment. From the survey there have
been some of the key aspects that are developed and which require continuous assessment for

proper Innovation and creativity. Some of the aspects that have to be crucially focus in terms of
increasing and maintaining organisational productivity and could do better school are mentioned
below.
Organisation encouragement: Teachers and all the staff members have to be encouraged to
implement the change process. The school has a thorough performance appraisal system of staff
and support for those who are willing to develop and learn. This technique can be used by the
newly appointed head teacher to motivate their staff members in order to develop a proper work
group support (Kusi-Sarpong, Gupta,. and Sarkis, 2019). The covid-19 structure has created
opportunities for more online learning platforms that can again be adopted to provide on the job
training to the staff members who lack virtual learning and development skills. When employees
will be offered the opportunity of individual development it will lead to more support to deal
with the uncertainty situations. There will also be proper development of digital skills through
training opportunities offered.
Change implementation:
The could do better school which is an 11-18 state school located on the outskirts of a
major city, is one of the socially underprivileged community facing lots of problems. The
member of the community are facing the problem of low income and neither of the family in the
community has ever been to school or university. The students from the community are
progressing but still the results are low in similar term they are below the national average. The
students lack in the creativity which is the major problem that can be seen in the community, this
is because of the lower level and poor behaviour in the lessons and not getting proper lesson or
lack of experienced staff.
The schools are facing lots of problems in regard to the lack of creativity from the
student’s side. It is analysed that the confidence among the staff is low because the grading done
in the inspection and the getting low pay is also another problem. The another problem that is
seen in the community is the problem because of the culture, the culture of the community can be
create another problem for the students affecting their performance, like due to the current
pandemic the online learning created an negative impact on the success of the students, student
coming from the home environment has faced more difficulty in their learning process. In order
to deal with these problems it is very essential to bring required changes in the learning process
as well as in the community. the change will helps in dealing with the problems effectively and

lead towards growth and enhancement, in order to bring the required changes the appropriate
change model can be taken into consideration. In this case the ADKAR change management
model can be taken into consideration.
ADKAR change management model is one of the most essential model of change which
helps in analysing the gaps in the process so that required actions can be taken in order to bring
the changes effectively. it helps in bringing the changes and deal with the changes effectively
and efficiently, it includes various stages needed to be followed as discussed below:
Awareness: The first stage in creating awareness about the changes, the community and the
students needs to be informed about the need for the needs and its importance, they should be
well aware of the change.
Desire: The another stage is the desire, there should be willingness and desire to bring the
changes, after understanding why they change in needed there should be desire to bring taht
change effectively.
Knowledge: The individual who is planning to bring the change should have proper knowledge
of how to bring the changes in the community following required steps and actions.
Ability: The another step is evaluating the changes in order to understand its effectiveness and
impact it create, the changes needs to be analysed and integrated effectively.
Reinforcement: The last stage is the implementing the changes, once the evaluation and analysis
is done the change needed to be implemented finally and should be evaluated regularly.
This model will helps in understanding the requirement for the change and also creating the
desire for the change among communities and will lead to successful implementation and
evaluation of the change leading towards growth.
Culture: culture changes are required when the staff is not feeling enough valued or trusted in an
organisation. In could do better school there is a patch that is because of the organisation and
functioning because the teachers have lot of work pressure and they are highly frustrated because
of the increasing workload (Joly, 2019). This has resulted into requirement of a situation where
teachers are willing to have an environment that can offer them in a flexibility and positivity. For
this purpose there is a need to evaluate the required cultural changes by the newly appointed
head teacher who is working to develop entrepreneurial architecture.
Organisation level: There is requirement of a shift in approach of offering more online learning
and development opportunities. There can be a proper structure that has to be developed where a

culture of learning can be inbuilt in the organisation to accelerate the overall innovative
approaches.
Individual level: The prerequisite for could do better school is to have a proper individual level
management system. Main difficulty that is faced by this organisation is no proper motivation
level of employees that is affecting their present moral and contribution to the existing roles and
responsibilities (Biemans, 2018). For this reason various motivational techniques like Maslow
need hierarchy theory and Herzberg two factor motivation theories can be adopted by
management to analyse the different motivational factors for the teachers.
Team level: There can be building up of social group that is created determinant of employee
behaviour. Team members can observe the recognition action and feedback at the earliest
possible time. This strategy is going to help in experiencing movements for creating catalyst of
change in could do better school. There is requirement of an executive team to initiate the whole
process. In this situation the newly appointed head teacher can analyse the results that are drawn
from the scales of key survey (Rajapathirana and Hui, 2018). That clearly indicates that there is
requirement of sufficient resources in order to be invested for dealing with building up of a
proper entrepreneurial architecture. Teachers and the whole working staff has to take the
responsibility of their own actions. This tool can be very helpful in having proper supervisory
encouragement practices and development of a workgroup support.
Part 3
critical analysis and evaluation of your collated patches, the final step of your task will be to
reflect on the process of collating and stitching together information
Entrepreneur structure can be build up by having a proper entrepreneur mindset that is supported
by leadership and culture. Further innovation can help in having a support towards rebuilding the
culture with proper support of leadership approaches. Transformational leadership is one such
suitable strategy that can assist organisations in having a leader that is supporting the change
process (Edwards-Schachter, 2018). Cultural transformation starts with personal
transformation at an individual level. Cultural change is recorded as the sum of individual
changes that can happen in organisation at different levels. Encode do better school there can be

use of behavioural measurements to instruments that is involving a 360 degree measure system.
It is regarded as a system for creating higher trigger for the change. It is an aspect that can also
help in achievement of sustainable change in the long term.
There is a need for better leadership style which should be used to provide better
guidance for all teachers and making better guideline for student that can be implemented in
effective way for providing better and effective delivery of lessons to students. There is need to
keep some change in the work culture which is thereby providing information by head of
department. This can lead to provide better liberty to teacher for delivering of lessions to thier
children. There is need for change for effectively delivering of lessons to students. There is need
to change and use the new leadership style which is able to provide better and effective result in
planning lesson. This provides better opportunity for teachers for make better effectively
delivery of lessons to their student for better outcome. Autocratic leadership style need to change
which is a part of culture of this school.
Due to autocratic leadership style, there is negative impact on teachers liberty and
delivery of lessons to children. Due to COVID impact, there is need to provide online classes to
student. Better leadership style can provide them the ability for better learning and planning for
lesson. This makes teacher to effectively deliver their lesson in efficient manner. This would
highly impact the overall result of the school and provide better outcome. There is also need for
better opportunity for teachers to increase their salary by appraisal which can motivate them to
work in efficient way. Increase salary could have a motivational factor for teachers to get
satisfaction to their work and able to effectively delivery of lessons to students. Corporate
innovation entrepreneurship is able to provide better outcome for school and due to decrease in
the paper work can lead to provide more time to teachers for preparing or planning for lesson
delivery to students (Lewis, 2018).

Conclusion
It can be concluded from the above discussed aspects that organisations are facing major
issues in the dynamic external environment. The present covid-19 situation has affected the
functioning of organisations that requires lot of changes in virtual and digital learning platforms.
Educational institutions have to work towards installing a proper system for assessing academic
performance and well being of students. There is need of a continuous requiring improvement
that is because of external monitoring paperwork and scrutiny. This function is also associated
with having proper management process to ensure good progress and achievements with respect
to effective organisation functioning.
