What is the Scalable Innovation Capacity Building course about?

Teams are more connected than ever, yet struggle to move from brainstorming to execution. Without structured capacity-building, distributed innovation relies too heavily on heroics, sync meetings, or centralised leadership , undermining scalability and inclusion.
