Innovation is a word we hear so often these days. To many of us it conveys a kind of a magic bullet. A way out of all kinds of dead-ends - corporate, technological or social. It is true that at its very core Innovation means “doing things differently” and there are case studies galore about innovation success that we see disrupting markets and impacting millions of lives.
People ask, “is there a science to Innovation success?” “Is there a formula that churns our innovative products and services? If it were, wouldn’t it be just great?” The truth is, Innovation happens around us all the time. It is often subliminal. In fact, the best innovations are the ones we don’t see coming, and yet they change our lives. Innovation is part genius, part tool. To learn to innovate is to learn to spot signs from a new whole new perspective.
This course unpacks Innovation as a practical concept that you can put to use. Not only to think your way around problems, but to enter a whole new way of thinking.
