Innovation Leadership Online Course

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.

You will also get a certificate for the completion of the course.
