What is the Scalable Innovation Capacity Building course about?
Leaders are expected to deliver transformational results, yet most innovation remains project-based, ad hoc, and dependent on individual champions. Without institutionalized capacity, even promising initiatives stall after the first sprint. The challenge isn’t ideas, it’s repeatability.
