What is the Mid-Market Innovation Capacity Building course about?
Mid-market organizations face a unique challenge: they’re too large to rely on ad-hoc innovation, yet too lean to afford siloed experimentation. Hybrid work amplifies this, without intentional structures, creative momentum stalls, initiatives fragment, and leadership loses visibility into what’s working. The lack of a repeatable innovation framework means progress depends on personality, not process.
