What is the Modern Innovation Capacity Building course about?
Cross-functional innovation often stalls due to misaligned incentives, unclear ownership, and inconsistent measurement. Teams invest in ideation but lack the frameworks to transition into execution. This leads to fragmented efforts, wasted resources, and lost momentum, especially when scaling beyond pilot phases.
