What is the Practical Innovation Capacity Building course about?
Even well-resourced programs struggle to maintain coherence when innovation spans sites. Local context varies, governance lags, and without a shared operating model, pilot wins don’t scale. Leaders are expected to deliver outcomes but lack structured methods to build innovation capacity across locations.
