What situation is the Fixing Innovation Governance That Breaks for?

Each cycle, innovation leaders manually reassemble data from siloed R&D teams, reconfirm patent status, remap compliance exposure, and rebuild presentation decks for leadership. The process is error-prone, time-intensive, and breaks stakeholder trust when inconsistencies appear. Tools exist, but they’re not connected. Governance feels reactive, not systemic. This course fixes that, not with theory, but with a plug-in workflow engine that runs the.

Who is the Fixing Innovation Governance That Breaks course for?
