What is the Scalable Innovation Capacity Building course about?
Established enterprises face increasing pressure to innovate, yet struggle to scale beyond one-off initiatives. Legacy structures, risk frameworks, and performance metrics weren't built for rapid iteration. As a result, promising pilots dissolve without enterprise-wide impact, and innovation teams exhaust energy navigating internal resistance instead of delivering value.
