What is the Scalable Innovation Capacity Building course about?
Many public-sector initiatives launch with strong vision but fail to scale due to fragmented workflows, misaligned incentives, and absence of institutionalized innovation practices. Leaders are expected to deliver transformational outcomes but lack structured frameworks to embed innovation into ongoing operations. As a result, promising pilots dissolve without systemic impact.
