Most organizations start with the Innovation Process Certification: it gives participants one method for taking an idea from first question to tested plan. The three-day courses go deeper: running an innovation system, building intrapreneurship across the workforce, or building high-performing teams. The planning call confirms the right course for your objectives.
To see where your organization stands before choosing, begin with the Innovation Readiness Assessment.
The courses fit into talent development, leadership development and upskilling programs, and into an organization’s learning and development strategy.
Professional development training for employees at every level, with a certificate and a LinkedIn badge that can be recorded in your learning system.
Innovation leadership training for managers and innovation leads: coaching teams, managing a pipeline of ideas and measuring the return.
One shared method across departments, so ideas come from across the organization and each one has a clear path to a decision.
For your approval process, each course has a published outline with units, activities and learning outcomes.
