Super-charge your leadership team’s proficiency in innovation and create a culture that allows creativity and rapid growth to thrive
Strong executive support is a prerequisite and key factor for successful and impactful corporate innovation programs. Having a leadership team who truly understand how innovation works is essential to creating an innovative culture and implementing the processes needed to execute innovation effectively.
To address this need, we created the Innovation Masterclass. This is an executive-level crash course in innovation fundamentals designed to rapidly get leadership teams on the same page. With a common understanding and language, your leaders will look at your organisation through a different lens and be positioned to take immediate steps to create a culture, management systems, and day-to-day operational practices that allow innovation to thrive.
Who is this for?
The masterclass is primarily designed for leaders and senior management in all parts of the organisation.
Effective corporate innovation relies on cooperation and support from all parts of the organisation. Whether you lead operations, technology, finance, risk, compliance, marketing, or any other business function, your function can either be an innovation blocker or an enabler.
