Innovation and KM Master Class

Learn Innovation Methods and Practices for a Stronger KM Practice

Our world is constantly being re-created by innovation.  In fact, the pace has become so intense that 8 in 10 organizations don’t survive longer than
a few cycles of innovation, dying after only a few fitful decades.  However, companies who have effectively structured and formalized their approach
to innovation, reap tremendous rewards.  How was this accomplished?

In this master class, you will learn new tips, obtain new tools, and gain a
proven methodology for innovation success. You'll leave with the necessary knowledge and skills to initiate and guide the delivery of Innovation, no
matter what your organizational size, structure, or purpose.

Delivery

Students have two training options: 

   1. Master Class - students wishing to take a deep dive into Innovation who may or may not be
   interested in Certification.  The 2-day Master Class earns credit toward CKS Certification should
   you choose to get Certified at a later date.

  2. CKS Certification in Innovation - students wishing to earn Certification can do so by taking
  the KMI "KM Foundation" course online, plus the 2-day Innovation Master class.  Note: past Grads
  (CKP/CKM) can bypass the "Foundation" course and take just the Master Class and exam.  
  For more on Certification on this topic, please visit the CKS page and click on "Innovation."

See below for details on your options.  "CKS" = Certified Knowledge Specialist (in a KM topic).
 

Meet your Instructor

Rationale

Innovation is essential to maintain competitiveness or move into new markets.  Leadership in nearly every Fortune 500 Company has made innovation a top priority, yet many organizations rely on random sparks of creativity for their next breakthrough.  Inevitably, this dysfunctional approach to innovation consistently fails to deliver transformative innovations to market.

If your organization recognizes the need for an effective approach to innovation, attend this course to gain best practice methods, tools, and techniques for developing, improving or maintaining your organization’s innovation capabilities.
