    What You Will Learn

    This hands-on program takes place in a unique learning space very different from a typical classroom. Here you will immerse yourself in the real-world process of exploration, experimentation, failure, and examination. You will discover new ways to surface and develop ideas—and set the stage for ongoing innovation. As you dig into the characteristics of innovative organizations, you will learn what it takes to lead the changes that transform promising ideas into reality.

    Balancing Collaboration and Personal Reflection

    While this corporate innovation program emphasizes team collaboration, you also will engage in guided self-reflection and a unique approach to peer coaching that is designed to boost your creativity and expand your innovation mindset as you continue your leadership journey.

    Your Innovation Challenge

    During the program, you will work with a self-organized team of peers, known as a "brain trust," to spark new thinking on innovation and help you fine-tune your skills. You'll have the opportunity to define an innovation leadership challenge facing your organization, present it to your brain trust team, and obtain feedback that can help you develop an action plan for achieving your goals.
