What is the Implementation-Focused Innovation Capacity course about?
Teams invest in brainstorming and design sprints, but lack the operational scaffolding to move from ideas to implementation. Without structured capacity-building, innovation becomes sporadic, dependent on heroic effort rather than systemized execution.
