The course design is driven by four core principles: 1) Innovation processes should be aligned to organizational goals that emphasize multi-stakeholder value creation, 2) Innovations processes should be ongoing to enable an organization to be agile and responsive, 3) Collaboration within and across functions is the fuel that drives innovation, and 4) Innovation processes should align to an organization’s strategy.
