Innovation Leadership (online)
Innovation Leadership is a cost-effective and flexible online study module offering a unique insight into the Innovation Leadership mindset and concepts. More than ever before, large companies are embracing start-up practices to transform their leadership culture to be more agile, innovative, and entrepreneurial through empowerment of their people.
- The central concept of the course is that Innovation Leadership is not just for start-ups. It is a mindset and a set of practices being adopted by small and large organizations to address today’s increasingly complex business problems. The course builds fundamentally on Lean Start-up methodologies and frameworks that highlight the three key concepts of a) systematic innovation, b) exploration vs. execution projects, and c) entrepreneurial management.
- The concepts are based on and facilitate the adoption and application of Lean Start-up practices in a corporate environment.
