Business leaders are under pressure to drive innovation while meeting the everyday demands of business operations. This program provides tools to help you manage this challenge and lead breakthrough innovation at your organization.

Description

The accelerating rate of change in business requires a radical approach to innovation. Globalization, e-commerce, and social media have removed many barriers to entry and increased the number of choices consumers have, complicating and changing the decision-making process. Innovation is vital to remain competitive and deliver long-term growth, but innovation is more than new product development: It requires a company-wide commitment to change and a culture of innovation that reaches throughout the organization. In this two-day course, you will learn strategies, practical tools, and personal leadership principles from a former innovation leader for Frito-Lay, Hershey, and Walmart US to create a culture of innovation in your organization.

Course Content

  • Discuss major trends causing experts to predict that the next five years will change faster than the past 10 years.
