About this course

Develop the skills, experience and mindset to turn bright ideas into brilliant business opportunities.
With the threat of disruption closing in on all sides, many businesses are facing the same set of challenges: an uncertainty about what problems to solve, slow speed to market, and difficulties bringing all parts of the business together to make meaningful innovation happen.

We'll help you tackle these challenges head on. Drawing on concepts from service design, experimentation and the lean startup method, you'll learn how to rapidly pinpoint where your business sits in the market, uncover opportunities to innovate, prototype your ideas, and build service experiences that work for both you and your customers.

This four-week intensive program is dense, jam-packed and not for the faint-hearted. You will work hard, and walk away with new insights, skills and a head of steam on your own project. It's backed by theory and driven by practical experience. You'll explore innovation in the context of a real-world problem, and practice key problem-solving techniques that you can bring back to your business.

Through live experience sessions, you'll engage in a mix of content delivery, guided discussions, hands-on activities and reflection. Through a personal project, you'll learn how to put your new skills and knowledge into practice.

You will develop critical skills that will:

  • Aid in identifying opportunities for customer and business innovation
  • Develop the creative confidence you need for innovative problem-solving
  • Learn how to validate ideas and ground your decisions in insight

These skills will accelerate your ability to:

  • Take ideas from a concept to a service delivery model that spans your entire business
  • Identify opportunities for business model innovation
  • Find out what it takes to put innovation at the heart of your business.

This program is designed for Leaders and Managers who are doers-not philosophers-and value real results over theory.

To extract the full value from this program, please plan on protecting 10-15 hours of work each week over the first four weeks to make your way through the full range of activities shown above.
