What is the Strategic Innovation Capacity Building course about?
Teams launch innovation labs and ideation sprints, but without embedded capacity, efforts stall. Leaders expect repeatable outcomes, yet lack frameworks to institutionalize creativity, resilience, and execution speed. This gap leaves even high-potential organizations cycling through cycles of hype and disappointment.
