What is the Enterprise-Class Innovation Capacity Building course about?
Despite growing investment in digital transformation, many public-sector initiatives fail to scale beyond pilot phase. The challenge isn’t vision, it’s operational capacity. Without structured innovation systems, even high-potential programs struggle with alignment, governance, stakeholder coordination, and repeatable delivery. This leads to wasted resources, eroded stakeholder trust, and missed transformation windows.
