Discover the modules that fit your needs: 

Module 1: Cultivating for Innovation

• Who is this for? HR Directors, Culture Change Leads, and Team Leaders who feel the organization is "resistant" to new ideas or stuck in a fixed mindset.
• What will I learn? You will learn how to unlock the "human" side of innovation. You’ll leave with techniques to build a safe environment for experimentation and tools to spark collective creativity within your team.

Module 2: Strategizing for Innovation

• Who is this for? Strategy Directors and Business Development Managers who need to align innovation efforts with the core corporate strategy to secure budget and resources.
• What will I learn? Stop wasting resources on "random acts of innovation." You will learn to use Strategic Foresight to anticipate trends and build a clear innovation roadmap that directly supports your company’s long-term growth.

Module 3: Leading for Innovation

• Who is this for? Managers and "Leaders in the Middle" who need to influence stakeholders and empower their teams to take initiative without losing control.
• What will I learn? You will define your personal "leadership claim" and learn how to manage the tension between daily operations (exploitation) and future growth (exploration).

Module 4: Structuring for Innovation

• Who is this for? Operations Managers and Organizational Designers who need to create the "place" for innovation—deciding whether to build an internal lab, a separate venture, or integrate it into existing departments.
• What will I learn? Practical structures for "Ambidexterity." You’ll learn how to design lean processes that allow innovation to flourish without disrupting your core business's efficiency.

Module 5: Ecosystems for Innovation

• Who is this for? Partnerships Managers and Corporate Venturing Leads looking to collaborate with startups, universities, or industry partners.
• What will I learn? Learn to look outside your walls. You’ll get frameworks to choose the right partners, build effective collaboration models, and measure the value of external innovation networks.
