Introduction

Innovation is the key to thriving and surviving for every organization, especially given the pace of change we are facing today. Success requires a sustained cycle of rapid innovation and learning, which in turn requires developing experts, pioneers, and thought leaders with the right mindsets.  Organizations that are still developing their people “from novice to expert” will be left behind.

Innovation management requires the integration of several disciplines, including business psychology, organizational learning, knowledge management, and change leadership. And given recent discoveries in positive psychology, cognitive diversity, and neuroscience, we can now accelerate the innovation process.

Who Should Attend?

The certification course is for:

  • Managers and leaders who want to create a culture of rapid innovation and learning in their organization.
  • KM Leaders who want to leverage their KM strategies for increased organizational innovation and learning.
  • Individuals who consider themselves to be creative but are finding that the innovation process requires additional knowledge and skills.
  • Individuals who don’t consider themselves to be particularly creative but want to better understand their important role in the innovation process.

  • Identify success measures and common failures within the innovation cycle
